Is it true that acting quickly and instinctively is the best response to a crisis?

From man-made catastrophes like 9-11; to the natural devastation seen in earthquakes, tsunamis and, to disasters of fate like plane crashes, chances appear alarmingly high that somewhere, sometime, somehow, our life may be touched by a crisis. How would you react if it happened? Do you have what it takes to not only survive disaster but perhaps even lead others out of danger? We often fantasize about what we would do or how we would act, and we often feel positive about our ability to handle a crisis when it occurs. Unfortunately, research shows people often don't react as well as they think they will. Most panicked and were far more excitable than they predicted. We would all like to think of ourselves as that Hollywood hero or heroine who saves the day, but in reality that's more often the exception than the rule. The best survivors are the ones who are able to "read" the new reality rapidly, focus on problem solving, and take practical action all within the moment.

Good afternoon and happy Thursday. ^.^ Are you having a great day? I hope you are. Thank you so much for sharing a lot of ideas in writing. I guess being practical is the best way especally during difficult time. We can talk more about this in class. See you.
