There's a Professor whom I always meet at the staff lounge, simply because both of us enjoy spending our break time at the place very much.
We were watching the news, and I commented just how amazing some people are in coping with their life obstacles.
"If I were in her shoes, I'd just lie there and cry in pain," I honestly lamented.
The Professor immediately shook her head in disagreement.
"No. You say that because you're currently not in that situation. Look where you are now, I'm sure you had your share of obstacles and yet, here you are."
I was quite taken aback with her response and digested her words in reverie.
She continued, "People have very strong survival instincts. Remember that."
She even gave examples of some famous survival stories ; how people will resort to eating human flesh and faeces just to live a little longer.
The survivors held on to HOPE.
"And I believe, so as long as you continue to hope, you will find the means of survival," she said with a twinkle in her eye.
