It means you are either going to let a situation swallow you and destroy you, or you will fight to stay afloat.

The global economic recovery is weakening as government policies have failed to restore confidence, the International Monetary Fund has said. Think the UK will bob up & down for a while, Scotland will decide to exit the sinking ship in a nothing ventured, nothing gained move & England will battle on with Wales at its side. Northern Ireland will be lapping at Scottish heels. Who knows what's going to happen? My crystal ball broke years ago.

You either wash the dishes in the sink or throw the dishes in the pool where you have to swim for them.

It's a situation in which you better be able to "swim" (do what needs to be done) or you are going to "sink" (fail).

When you get thrown in the lake, you have to sink or swim.
For example, when you start a new job, and they don't have any training for you. You get to your desk, and you have to start swimming or you will sink.

Do or die. Like when a mother bird pushes the baby bird out of the nest. The bird either flies or dies.

Imagine someone pushed you off a bridge. What would you do? Would you waste moments of your time cursing that person or try to save yourself? It's like that.

Do you try or just give up. Like sitting in the car and saying, "I'm a girl I don't know how to change a tire" or getting out and trying to figure it out.

When your bubble burst and you realize that there is no Santa and no God. You can either fall into depression and despair or find another reason to live.
