[Quote No.30130] Need Area: Mind > Plan
"[When confronted with a life-threatening situation, 90% of people freeze or panic, while the remaining 10% stay cool, focused and alive. How?] They are the ones who can [override the primitive amygdala portion of their brains - the emotional part - to be able to use their logical neocortex - the brain's thinking part - to] perceive their situation clearly... plan and take correct action [with persistence and stoicism]." - Laurence Gonzales

[Quote No.57469] Need Area: Work > Service
"Helping someone else is the best way to ensure your own survival. It takes you out of yourself. It helps you to rise above your fears. Now you're a rescuer, not a victim. And seeing how your leadership and skill buoy others up gives you more focus and energy to persevere. The cycle reinforces itself: You buoy them up, and their response buoys you up. Many people who survive alone report that they were doing it for someone else (a wife, boyfriend, mother, son) back home." - Laurence Gonzales

[Quote No.57470] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Morality, ethics, reciprocity and the 'Golden Rule' of treating others as you would like to be treated in the same situation:] Helping someone else is the best way to ensure your own survival. It takes you out of yourself. It helps you to rise above your fears. Now you're a rescuer, not a victim. And seeing how your leadership and skill buoy others up gives you more focus and energy to persevere. The cycle reinforces itself: You buoy them up, and their response buoys you up.
