I once met a man who was giving a seminar and this was his question. He was a 10th degree black belt - founder of his own style of martial arts. He would put a student in a difficult spot - some kind of hold or restraint - and then ask "What can you do?"
An impressive question. The way he asked it was not "What can you do?" as in
"Oh well, nothing can be done"
or even:
"Show off or prove something to me"
but rather:
"Think! Be creative! Do not give up!"
The question captured the essence of always having an active mind and an indomitable spirit.
