I once interviewed a certain mountaineering expert because a few college students lost their lives hiking. One of the questions was, "What should we do if we are halfway up a mountain and suddenly encounter heavy rain?"

The mountaineering expert said, "You should head for the top of the mountain."

"Why not run down the mountain? Isn't it more stormy at the top?" I asked skeptically.

"Going to the top, of course, the wind and rain may be bigger, but not enough to threaten your life. As for running down the mountain, it seems that the wind and rain is smaller and safer, but you may encounter flash floods and be drowned alive." Mountaineering experts said seriously: "For the wind and rain, to escape it, you only be caught in the flood; to face it, you can get survival!"

In addition to mountaineering, in the battlefield of life, isn't it also the case?
