127 Hours

Watching this 127 Hours was very much like watching a horror movie. Rather than scaring you because of ghosts and something gory, this movie scares you because of reality. Anything can happen to you just like that.

Here are some take away lessons:

1. Never, never EVER go somewhere adventurous alone. Always have a companion, or at least inform them where you’re going.

2. Always bring sufficient water with you. Drink your own urine when you’ve finished your fresh water. Bring some biscuits along too.

3. Stay as calm as possible when you are in a crisis.

4. Don’t ever buy any cheap Made-in-China multi tools, when your life depends on it, get the best you can afford. Get a REAL SWISS-made knife…

5. Always pack for emergency when you go out for trips. Always assume that you may be in danger and in need of the emergency pack.

And what did Aron learn?

1. Your family comes first. Know how to prioritize.

2. Even he believes in Karmic Laws. He believed that it was he himself who brought this accident to himself.

3. He is now thankful and grateful that he survived.
