How do you react to adversity?

* And if it's the sort of adversity that makes these things impossible, there's always the option of expressing your views on Facebook in a way that gives friends a laugh as well as getting their sympathy.

Or you could come on to DZ.com and spill the intimate aspects of your life here, and avail yourself of the myriad of armchair experts. For guidance and advice worth every penny you pay for it.

Dunno... If both my main and my reserve failed to open, I think I'd be foolishly peeing myself all the way to the unavoidable ground!!!

Heck no, track for your rigger's car.

Completely depends on the scenario. The one mentioned I would be bummed for a bit, but then come to the understanding it was completely out of my control and clearly if the new owners suck that much I don't want to work for them anyway.

I react differently to different things. In full on emergencies where I do not have time to react any other way but GO I will go, if I have time to think, well then it will get to me for a bit but then I will put on my big girl panties and get it done.

Everyone is different and how they tackle things. Some learn from previous experiences gained while travelling through life, some its how they where brought up.

The people that we now and raise us shape us to a great degree and that something that's bothered me for sometime as that teaching fabric from generation to generation has broken down in part from what i see in society and its sad to be honest.

My parents taught us to stand on our own 2 feet very early on and not to look for or expect help in problem solving. Beat the problem yourself,adapt and overcome to a certain degree.

That's why last week after a motorbike crash last year where i almost lost my right foot. My physiotherapist told me after 3 months they have taken me as far as they can and i have moved further and faster than they thought, Why i have returned to my other interest Hillwalking, why i am almost ready to resume jumping. i could have felt sorry for myself on waking after 5 days of surgery but my parents would have kicked my ass and told me to get up and i thank them for that

There you go. You get out of it what you put into it.

I blame myself and fall within myself if something hits the fan.

With respect to adversity, coming to the US with nothing when I was 7?
I just put my head down and worked......from 12 on I worked...right through engineering school I just put my head down and worked.
When I got done I looked up from the ground and realized I was in a place that would never make me happy. So I blame myself for not having looked up and not having worked hard enough to study the situation.

Thus I blame myself and overanalyze the situation an tend to paralyze myself.

The only real serious mistake I have made and was able to logically get myself out of thus far in my life was when I broke my tib fib. Thanks to Mr. Germain and my good friends I was able to learn from my mistake and get back into the game. And for that I am forever grateful

Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
