The first time I remember being told I was not old enough to do something was at an amusement park, when the worker told me I was neither old nor tall enough. I felt restrained and soon got a little heated. I know I did not have any decision in riding because there was a certain requirement and I did not meet them. Now, I can see why it was better for me to not have rode on the rollercoaster because of the vigorous turns, it was to much for a small id; which I was at this time.

Necessities of Survival
To survive the most vital thing that I would need would be Water. That is the most essential thing to have, you can go the longest on water alone than any other substance. Water keeps you hydrated and depending on what setting I would need to survive in, it would be the first thing I look for if ever stranded. Also, water for cleanliness would be needed.
Shelter of some sort would also be needed to protect from harmful animals or storms; kind of like a place of refuge. A cave could help from storms or a place underneath the ground. Shelter is vital because it is where you do the resting, sleeping and possibly cooking of animals. Especially if well hidden, it may not be seen by others who may be trying to harm or even kill me.
When stranded on an unfamiliar place with possible unfamiliar creatures, it is best to have at least one type of weapon to ward off any top predators and to hunt for your own prey. I know for me this would be important because I love food and would hate to starve. Thinking previously of strategies to not rub away scent would cause for good memory. No panicking is a rule that I would need time to adapt to but would help if a predator came looking for me.

I would
find a way of contacting persons to let them know where you are and
giving them a better chance at finding you. For example, if a plane where to
crash, using the planes contact technology to emergency people who would then
come for you. Or, if stranded on an island making a fire ( any type of signal) to
send a distress call in.
Lastly, just learning to adapt in general can be a difference of life and death.
A Great Leader
I think a great leader does take necessary steps even if the others are skeptical about it. Uncomfortable situations can lead to very successful outcomes. For example, in the Odyssey, Odysseus had to make hard decisions like losing 6 of his men when there was a whirlpool rather than loosing his whole ship. In modern day, for example, leaders such as the President must make certain decisions like cutting back on funds for health care and education and making way for more jobs by doing this. This may seems very confusing on why someone would do it, but perhaps it is for the better.
