            Resilience is something that ever person should try to have under their belt. This is something is a very helpful and can save yours and others life. In this case, Louie was crashed at sea and was just drifting away. However he needs to stay calm and start to do what needs to do in order to survive. Louie needed to understand that in his situation, he was a survivor, not a victim. Everything that he went through and everything that he saw made him change his mind about certain things. If you have the mind-set that you need to survive and know that you can do it, you most likely will be able to get through it. If one doesn’t have resilience they will get stuck on problems and still use unhealthy was of solving problems like taking the easy way or doing something very sloppy. The human body is capable of more than you think. There is so much more you can do than you even realize and having resilience and increase so many things. Being able to problem solve in a sufficient way helps in a lot of situations.

Louie needs to be good at problem solving so he has a better chance of surviving in the ocean. Having crashed somewhere, he needs to figure what to do with the limited amount of resources that he has. Having good problem solving skills will make things easier for his survival. An example of when resilience was used is when Phil pulls someone onto the boat and stops the bleeding of one of the other men “He felt frightened, though not panicked”. Phil stayed calm and took care of one problem at a time. He used his problem solving skills to stop the bleeding and save his life. Being able to solve problems can save his life. He will encounter many problems that will make living and doing normal functions much harder. They won’t have any safe drinking water due to being on the ocean and they aren’t going have any food. They might get sea sick as well due to the amount of waves in the ocean. Even tho they have crashed and almost died , and out of all the people on the boat Phil stayed calm and took everything in slowly and he took his time. He did not panic which in a survival situation is a good thing. Having the ability to have resilience can and sometimes will save your life and having good problem solving skills can help more than anything.
