Hi,
I had a mate post this on Facebook, and it is so uplifting and inspirational that I thought I'd put a link to it on here.
If you think you've had a tough day, or life is just a bit too hard, have a look at what this guy does, then ask yourself how your life is going. Make sure you read the text first.
Probably one of the most truly inspiring things Ive seen in ages.
There is an old saying, and one that I like to use,
"Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right"
A true story
One day a son asks his father:
"Daddy, will you run the marathon with me?"
The father answers yes and both run their first marathon together.
One day, the son asks his father if he wants to run the marathon with him again and the father answers yes. They both run the marathon together again.
Then one day the son asks his father:
"Daddy, will you run the Ironman with me?" (the Ironman is the toughest...it requires a 4km swim, 180km biking and 42km running).
The father says yes again.
This all may sound easy...but check out this video
