I am Wen Chu. An unexpected disaster swept through the city, cutting off communications and leaving supplies scarce. Overnight, many people lost their homes. Amid the panic, I forced myself to stay calm. I took stock of food, drinking water, and medicine in advance, organized the limited supplies into categories, and relied on careful observation and planning to avoid chaos and danger time and again. When people ask why I don't panic, I think that the more desperate the situation, the more important it is not to lose control of yourself first. Difficult circumstances won't change because of tears, but they can begin to ease through clear thinking and decisive action. As long as you are willing to think things through and persevere, even the hardest days can be brought into order step by step, until you find a way out.
