ULTIMATUM

Ultimatum:

1. a final, uncompromising demand or set of terms issued by a party to a dispute, the rejection of which may lead to a severance of relations or to the use of force.

2. A final proposal or statement of conditions.

These are other synonym's to define the word Ultimatum:
conditions, demand, final notice, final proposal, final terms, final warning, final word, last chance, last offer, last word, sticking point, and warning.

In certain situations we have no choice but to falter under ultimatums especially when they involve our health, life or family.

But in other travels of our life we don't have to buckle under pressure as did the Santa Monica Freeway in the Northridge Earthquake (see below). Of course after the earthquake certain measures were taken to strengthen the foundation so that this wouldn't happen again.

WOW, just think if folks were strong enough to strengthen their foundations.

They could be likened to the Brooklyn Bridge which is known as one of the world's strongest spans; whenever they do documentaries on bridges John Roebling's suspension bridge is amongst some of the famous mentioned. It passes inspection every year with flying colors.

Why?

Because it was built on a STRONG foundation.
