today in class the Prof talked about one of my fav shows... Man vs Wild... and he talked about what to do when faced with a charging rhino or when a lion come running it you.
The solution may not be what you would have guessed it to be... Most of us would say... RUN!!! but try out running the both of them... you'll only find yourself either mauled to death or being served as a unique cuisine for the lions.
what to do... is not what your instincts tell you to... which most of us would run... but rather the right thing to do... is...
for the rhinos, stand your ground and only when the rhino is running and charging and very near you... then you dash to your left or right and run for cover. (try to decide on one before you dash, in case you happened to be undecided, and before you know it... flattened) for the lions... listen well... jump up and down, wave your arms, make noise and hopefully you'll scare it away... due to youe 'enlarged' size. if you dont succeed, it least you made the lion's day by giving it a good laugh. =)
point of the day... sometimes don't trust you instincts... but rather, know what you need to do... so as to see the next sunrise. =)
