Prevention is Always Better Than Cure

At the start of this year, I had two falls.

The first was minor, just a few cuts on my hand. No fractures, no serious injuries.

The second one almost happened in my own toilet. The flooring had always been too slippery, but I ignored it for years.

Until I almost fell.

That near-miss finally made me take action.

And it got me thinking:

Why do we always wait for something bad to happen before we act?

We all know the phrase "Prevention is better than cure."

But let’s be honest, most of us don’t act on it.

Why?

Because nothing has happened yet.

🥲 We don’t fix slippery floors until we fall.
🥲 We don’t see a doctor until we’re in pain.
🥲 We don’t save enough until a financial crisis hits.

And when we finally reach the “Cure” stage, the damage is done, whether it's the pain, the money spent, or the time lost.

Remember what happened with One Bernam and Cuscaden Reserve?

Buyers who bought early suffered losses when the developer later slashed prices.

At that point, they were in the "Cure" stage, too late to do anything about it.

Could this have been prevented?

I believe so.

Many buyers rely on recommendations from friends, family, or even real estate agents.

There’s nothing wrong with trusting people. We all do that.

But the key is: Trust, but verify.

1️⃣ Do Your Due Diligence – Property is a huge financial decision. Always double-check recommendations and back them up with your own research.

2️⃣ Use Logic, Not Emotion – Don’t buy just because everyone is buying. If a project seems overpriced, ask why it’s worth paying the premium.

3️⃣ Ask the Right Questions – After reading or hearing advice, does it make sense to you? If you’re unsure, challenge the recommendation. If the answers hold up, then it’s a good call.

We need to change our perspective and stay in the Prevention stage.

Think of it like smoking. Why wait until your health deteriorates before quitting?

Likewise, why wait until your property value drops before realizing you could have made a better choice?

If you’re considering a purchase and want a second opinion, let’s have a discussion.

No pressure, no obligations. It is just making sure you're on the right path before you commit.
