In a self-defense scenario, you can:

1. Take action
2. Not take action

If you make the right move, you’re safe.

If you make the wrong move, you may be in trouble.

If you don’t make any move, you’re always in trouble.

When in doubt, fight. Or run.

Listen to your fear. Don’t make excuses for it.

Remember, if you were right and didn’t take action, you could be dead.

If you were wrong and did take action, you’ll be slightly embarrassed.
