Man Vs Wild, a lesson on strategy for personal survival

It is about getting better...

From Top Documentary Film

Bear Grylls, the top guy who has been fired by Discovery  to continue doing the Man Vs. Wild Series, has inspired many on how to survive and like the outdoors.   His guidance and lessons ar simple:

live off what you can find in the wild;

follow the river if you want to reach the civilization

food, shelter, fire are very important.  Thus finding food, water, building shelter and fire are important skills to be learned.

Your objective is to survive:   you key resource is yourself, the wild, a knife, and a device to build fire.   And with that you can survive anywhere in the world:  tropical rain forest, the Amazon, permafrost in Siberia, the Australian outback, the Grand Canyon in Arizona, the Sahara. etc/

Is should be Man and the Wild.  You cant fight the wild.  You have to partner with the wild.

"Secret of Survival"by former Navy Seal, sniper and instructor Cade Courtley

It is about getting better...

Seal Survival Guide

I saw the interview of Cade at Fox News and his book "Secret of Survival" was publicized.  We do not have to be a victims;  we can be proactive in any situation.  Take the case of Bourne supremacy:  when you enter a restaurant you observe:

where is the  nearest exit;

how many males are there who can be possible. threat;

how many are left handed or right handed;

is there any potential weapon available.

This way you will not be surprised.  Just as in the airplane.  Listen and watch emergency briefing by the stewardess

Look for the nearest exit. It could mean the difference between life and death.  Do not freeze in fear.  You must be bold and brave as you encounter a crisis.

All colors and visual perceptions are sometimes unreal

It is about getting better...

From Nat Geo

Colors, sounds, and other things we sense are sometimes unreal.  They are affected by our past experiences.  The Brain Game feature that for example:

1.  Shadow  -  if you are lit with magenta; two shadows come out, one magenta and the other green.  There was no green spotlight;  why do we have the green shadow.;

2.  Shadows affect the color we see or the shade.   Depending on the shadow, the gray object will appear dark or grey depending on the shadow because of  our experience with shadow.

3. Objects appear larger or smaller in relation to the perception of horizon.  Thus the parallel lines that converge at a distance can make objects larger or bigger.'
'
4.  The outside world is actually bathed in white light.    The colors are results of perception

5.  We can actually jump into conclusion (akala ko?)

We must be aware of this influences as they affect our mindset, and our ability to be successful

Focus and attention from Nat Geo Brain games

It is about getting better...

Rizal  PHL   |  September 23, 2013

Focus and attention from Nat Geo Brain Games

A good communication starts with FA -  Focus and Attention.  Without this, no stimuli will enter the mind of the learner, nor will learning occur.  It is sometimes startling, that we miss so much or that magicians can fool us (using the principles of focus and attention) or that pickpockets can steal our wallet face to face, at close quarters and we would not.know.

Our brain power is limited;  we use only 12 watts for our brain.  Thus we can not see many things that the same time.  Only things where we focus our attention to, can we see things clearly.

Several experiments were shown:

1.  The background of Apollo Robins were changed 3x while he was explaining a trick or showing the money;  we did not see what was going around;

2.  In a presentation where we were asked to count the number of times the performers stepped on the circle, we did not see the penguin pass by;

3.  Multi tasking really sucks.  There is no such thing as multi tasking.  Thus talking on the phone and talking about complex matters may lose your concentration focus.   Thus 250,000 accidents happen a year, and 25,000  deaths from texting or talking on the phone while driving;  A guy claiming he is a super multi tasker, in experiment by David Strayer showed he was just average

4.  Although we know what can make us lose our focus and attention we cant fight this. There are two things that affect our attention:  the decision (top down) and the sensory (bottoms up)  Apollo Robbinss was able to steal four things using diversion (lose of focus) face to face at close quater

The excitement is palpable as they connect with what's truly important to them. But often they'll hit what I call, the "How Hurdle." "How will I do that?" or "How can I get myself from here to there?" The excitement starts to deflate as they focus on not knowing the clear answers to the "How" Hurdle. Think of a hurdler, about to take off from the starting blocks. Looking up from their hurdler stance, the finish line is not even visible. What do they see? Nothing but a line of tall, solid ominous hurdles blocking their way to their goal. It's the same for us in our lives. We want to get somewhere but we don't know "how" to get there. Many head for the dressing room before the race to the finish line even starts. I'd like to share simple ways to overcome this phenomenon of the "How Hurdle". 1. "How?" isn't as important as "Where" and "Why?" Part of our mind likes to solve problems, so it will naturally prompt that "how" question. Asking "How" first is like putting the cart before the horse. Ghandi didn't ask himself how he'd get the British to leave India. Instead he held steadfastly and articulately to his vision and then followed a course of action that revealed itself as he went along. The more important and empowering questions to ask yourself are "Where?" and "Why?". Where do you want to go? Why do you want to reach that new goal? Why is it important for you to learn how to solve that problem? The answers to the "where" and "why" will give you the motivation and energy to find the "how" as you take action. 2. Building a Big "Why" If your "why" is big enough, you'll figure out the how. You just hunker down and start doing whatever it takes to get the job done. If a family member required urgent medical treatment and you didn't know anything about the medical system or how it works, it wouldn't take long for you to take action, would it? You're motivated, so you'd ask a lot of questions of the doctor or others, go online to research, or pick up the yellow pages to look for support groups. Connecting to your "why" will commit you to action. Commitment is the key to knocking those "How Hurdles" down. The "how" will appear once you make that commitment to your "why". In the words of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, "The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred ... unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way." 3. "I Don't Know How" as an Excuse Have you ever used the phrase "I don't know how" as an excuse for inaction? What would you say to a young child who said "I don't know how" in the face of having to try something new? You'd most likely let them know that it's OK to make mistakes and learn from them. But perhaps you really meant, "I'm not ready to move forward" or "My goal isn't really clear or important enough to me". It's more empowering and accurate to be honest about it, especially with ourselves, than stand behind an excuse. 4. Nevermind the Naysayers Have you ever decided to try something new, despite your own questions about how you'll succeed, and then the moment you share your new goal with someone they turn into a dream-stealer. They'll pepper you with questions like, "So how exactly are you going to do that?" Unfortunately, some of those naysayers are people who are the closest to us. They have a great skill for putting more "How Hurdles" up on the track. Don't let the naysayers stop you! Take a moment to share your "why" with them and how it's going to look at feel for you to accomplish that goal. Invite them to support you by brainstorming how you could accomplish the goal. Share your commitment to doing whatever it will take to cross the finish line. ** To comment on this article or to read comments about this article, go here.

People are different, and their desires and needs will inevitably clash. Resolving disagreements in a healthy way creates understanding and brings couples closer together. The objective should be the betterment of the relationship. This is positive conflict. Below are 24 suggested rules -- 12 Dos and 12 Don'ts -- for actualizing this goal. Arguments are Good! Arguments aren't necessarily a bad sign. It means differences are surfacing, but in some relationships, differences aren't acknowledged, because either one partner dominates a subservient one, or because both individuals are merged and don't really know themselves or are sacrificing who they are to please one another. These solutions to differences usually backfire, because they build resentment and passive-aggressive behavior, and closeness and intimacy suffer. With these couples, conflict is a sign of growth and maturity. At the other extreme are high-conflict couples, where differences escalate into power struggles and communication becomes aggressive. The Role of Self-Esteem Self-esteem is essential to assertiveness and healthy communication, which lay the foundation for avoiding fights and handling conflict. Unfortunately this isn't the norm, especially among codependent couples. Not having had good role models for expressing anger and handling conflict, one or both partners is usually passive or aggressive. When it comes to disagreements, low self-esteem leads to: Taking things personally Defensiveness Inability to express needs and wants High reactivity People-pleasing Not taking responsibility for behavior, feelings, and needs Inability to be honest Undisclosed expectations of others Rules of Engagement In positive conflict, ideally, you're able to verbalize your needs and wants and mutually work out compromises. Your intent and how you approach differences are critical. The objective should be to resolve a dispute to the satisfaction of both of you. It's not about winning and losing. You can "win" an argument, but the relationship may suffer if your partner feels discounted, deflated, or resentful. Planning when, where, and how you approach a disagreement is important for achieving satisfactory results. It's helpful make up rules of engagement in advance. Here are suggested 12 Dos and 12 Don'ts. You won't be able to achieve all of them or any all the time, but they're guidelines to strive for: DO: 1. Make it okay to "agree to disagree." You don't have to agree on everything. Try to accept irresolvable differences that don't violate your values. 2. Have time-limited discussions and stick to the pre-set time. A half-hour is plenty. You can always reconvene. 3. Work through things as they come up. Don't stockpile resentments; otherwise, each postponement becomes a block to the next communication. 4. Remember to maintain goodwill by separating the person you care about from the behavior. Assume he or she is doing their best and isn't hurting you intentionally. 5. Take responsibility for your behavior, needs, and feelings. Use "I" statements to share your feelings and thoughts about yourself. This doesn't include "I feel you're inconsiderate." Instead, say "I feel unimportant to you." 6. Examine what unmet needs are making you angry. With I statements, be direct and honest about your feelings and needs in the relationship. Communicate the positive consequences of compliance. 7. Listen with curiosity and a desire to understand your partner, and to see the world through his or her eyes. When you don't understand, ask for clarification. Remember that your partner is telling you his or her experience. It reveals the truth about them, not you. You're free to disagree, but first see where the person is coming from. 8. Use a "we" approach. "We have a problem," not "My problem with you is..." 9. Rather than demand your way, brainstorm solutions. Request your partner's input, especially when it comes to changing his or her behavior. 10. Take a time-out if you start to get angry. This allows you to calm down and stop reacting. Reassure your partner that you'll resume. 11. Use breaks to take responsibility for your part, think about solutions, and to self-soothe any hurt feelings. 12. Communicate your fears and guilt in the relationship. DON'T: 1. Don't have controversial discussions when you're tired or the bedroom, which should kept a safe place. 2. Don't make accusations or use the words, "always" or "never." 3. Don't bring in allies -- other people's opinions -- or make comparisons to others. 4. Don't switch topics, or retaliate with, "but you did..." 5. Don't judge, blame, belittle, or be sarcastic or dismissive in words or facial expressions, such as rolling your eyes or smirking. 6. Don't expect your partner to read your mind. 7. Don't analyze your partner or impute motives or feelings to him or her. 8. Don't interrupt or monopolize the conversation. 9. Don't react or defend yourself. Instead communicate your point of view. 10. Don't bring up the past -- anything more than a few days old. 11. Don't rolodex grievances. Stick to the current one. You don't need more "evidence" that you're right and your partner is wrong. 12. Don't compromise your bottom lines in the relationship, if they're non-negotiable. It will lead to more conflict later. Effective problem-solving takes time and practice. It first requires learning assertiveness.

Diana Nyad, 64 year old completes the 58 hour, 110 mile swim from Havana Cuba to Florida without shark cage.

It is about getting better...

Repost from USA Today | September 2, 2013

Diana Nyad 64 year old (senior) completed the historic 110 mile swim in 58 hours.  She has written several books and is a motivational speaker.  She kept on repeating:  "Do not ever ever quit"

It is historic because she did not use a shark cage.  However,  faint electrical signals kept the shark at bay.

It is mind over matter thing;  it is about motivation. It is about I/me overcoming the physical limitations of age, distance and time.
