survival is a choice
I recently received an invitation to the "Get Motivated!" seminar coming to my town, which includes a grab bag of speakers: Zig Ziglar, Rudy Giuliani, Jerry Lewis, Jimmy Carter, an NFL coach, etc. Anybody who needs to attend one of these things to get motivated has some problems. These things are like a traveling freak show, only they star famous people instead of bearded ladies.
One of the speakers is Jessica Lynch, whose speech is called "Survival Is a Choice." Here's what the flyer says about it: "Private Jessica Lynch astonished the world when she survived the unthinkable and was rescued from Iraqi capture. You will be amazed as she shares the key strategies that she used to survive and thrive in the most brutal of circumstances.
- How to win against all odds
- Developing the disciplines of a survivor
- How to eliminate fear and amplify confidence
- Resolving crisis: 3 tactics that get results
- How you can solve impossible problems"
Jessica Lynch is how old, 19, 20? What does she know about the world? She was a private first class and a clerk in a supply company who was injured in an accident when her company was ambushed. As I recall, she lost consciousness, was captured, and woke up in a hospital bed where her nurse sang to her. She received humane care from Iraqi doctors and nurses. It was not " the most brutal of circumstances." How did this teach her to "win against the odds" or "develop the disciplines of a survivor"? What kind of survival "choice" did she have to make? The Iraqis tried to turn her over to American troops, but they shot up her ambulance as it approached, thus making her "rescue" necessary.
And why was it "unthinkable" that she survived capture by Iraqis? Do those dark-skinned terrorist heathens cannibalize their captives or something? Compare her treatment to the treatment of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison.
