As I walk by through Delhi, I was reminded of a life-saving trick I learned in Naples.

When crossing 🚶🏻a road full of traffic, with multiple lanes and speeding vehicles, you have to take a leap of faith and expect the drivers to naturally avoid you but…

Don’t change your walking speed, or, even worse, run! Never! Keep a constant and not too fast not too slow pace, and you’ll be safe at the other end of the road (albeit scared to death).

If you change pace, you will break the mental model of the drivers, and they won’t know how to avoid you if your speed isn’t constant, and you’ll end up hospitalized. 🏥

BTW, I had a great time with the Xebia team!
