Why is the upkeep of a machine or vehicle called maintenance? Perhaps because preventative measures and maintenance prevent my car from breaking down somewhere in the middle of nowhere, leaving me to wait for someone to pick me up or for roadside assistance. By maintaining my vehicle in the garage or having it serviced at a workshop, I prevent myself from having to wait for help under adverse conditions. A good example of proactive maintenance is tire pressure monitoring. Even just checking the tire pressure at the gas station can make me feel a bit safer on the road. However, if I can also check the tire pressure while driving and receive a warning in case of air loss, then instead of being stranded in the dead of night in some unknown area, I can act in time and have a potentially damaged tire checked. That's why I prefer proactive maintenance to simply "waiting." Waiting has something hesitant about it for me, almost as if I could do without it; it has a passive quality. When it comes to my vehicle, I prefer to be proactive. I'm changing the tires, checking the tire pressure, and installing a TireMoni tire pressure monitoring system. I'm not waiting for that; I'm doing this maintenance right away ;-)
