Bravery is the Ultimate Key in Survival Bravery is a hard attribute to always carry with you in times of despair. Bravery is built on courage, strength, and fearlessness.

Physical strength is important because a person’s body can only withstand so much. According to Grayson Schaffer in “The Value of a Sherpa Life” the Sherpa porters struggle to survive in the hardships and conditions they face. He writes, “The men who were struck were carrying 80-pound loads to Camps I and II, or they were on their way back to base camp” (1). This shows how hard the Sherpas work and the weight of the supplies they have to withstand. Similarly, members on the James Caird have to withstand the major hurricane and massive waves coming over the boat. In “The Voyage if the James Caird” Caroline Alexander states, “Rain, hail, sleet, and snow hammered down, and by noon the gale had become a full-fledged hurricane whipping a mountainous

Mahatma Gandhi once said “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” A person’s will is the key to survival.

It took him a long time to figure out how to do it and then it took him quite a while to get it started, but all the time, he kept going because he was so determined. He tried many different times in many different ways. Ernest Shackleton was a man who tried to sail to Antarctica in a ship with a crew, but got stuck in an iceberg.

Everyone encounters obstacles in life that they feel like they can't overcome. People that have 'resilience' can take these challenges head on, stay calm in any situation, and use their problem-solving skills to take advantage of the situation and get themselves out of it. In a section of "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand, a biography of war hero Louie Zamperini, Zamperini is adrift at sea after his bomber crashed in the ocean. He is left with just the remains of the plane and two others, Phil and Mac. Louie Zamperini's key characteristics of resilience and the differences between all three men allow them to overcome adversity, and Louie and Phil make it out alive.

Strength is a quality that continues to carry mankind through existence. Without this attribute, humans would fail to carry on living. One can show physical strength by being able to push hefty objects, or mental strength by being able to endure the most unfavorable conundrums. For a person to survive any conditions, this toughness is an absolutely necessary trait that they must have. The Most Dangerous Game, a short fictional story by Richard Connell, and Who Understands Me But Me, a poem by Jimmy Santiago Baca, are both examples of how in any situation, it is possible to survive with forms of resilience. Characters from both of these stories are able to sustain themselves with their strength, whether it be physically or mentally.

Whether it is surviving mentally, or physically, one must know it takes change in willpower to go out and fight for what they need. To know what one needs and to know how to get it, is what makes up a survivor. No matter the circumstances they can forget what they thought they knew to grow within their surroundings.

Is physical or mental strength more important? Imagine choosing one over the other. You should have both as each play an important role to your body.

From the small life boats they reached Elephant island, from Elephant island five crew men sailed a small lifeboat to South Georgia, finally they used a boat loan to go save the rest of the crew on Elephant Island.The most important strength the men had to have in this survival situation is optimism.
