Nature is an amazing teacher. When you learn to observe the things around you, you learn a lot from the sun, the wind, the sky, water or many of nature's immaculate living things. When you observe, watch, see and listen to the experiences that it represents, you open yourself up to an infinite teacher in life.
"Always behave like a duck-keep calm and unruffled on the surface, but paddle like the devil underneath," this quote brings forth a way of life to balance life while battling life. You may be going through a lot in life, fighting the battle of keeping alive daily, but why let others know what you are going through. It interest none what you go through, so it is better to smile and stay calm as long as it is possible. When you watch a duck swimming in the pond, it seems very calm and moving without much effort, but none seethe under surface struggle of it kicking very hard to keep afloat.,
I have been thinking of the duck, comparing it to a cancer survivor or a patient. There may be many people giving in to the disease without a fight, because they don't want to suffer and make the ones around them suffer. Many are always lamenting and wallowing in self pity making the life of those around too a hell. But the real warrior and survivor stays calm though it is an exhausting experience to stay afloat in the true grit of life. There is an inner fight beneath the surface that none see.
The daily fights of a cancer survivor is not made known by many and to many, the reason for which may be best known to each individual. Some like to fight it out silently so that the loved ones around are not in fear of what may happen or what is happening. The well known saying that when it rains it pours may describe life at times and to stay calm at such moments needs grit and determination. A duck doesn't run away when it rains, it stays in the rain. Whatever it is they simply endure it . You have to endure it whatever comes your way, enjoying the simple things when they last. Being like a duck is not retaliating and making things worse, fight it out in a dignified way staying calm and with an inner fight of never giving up.
