A Son asked his father, “Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?” The father who, despite having a heart condition, says “Yes”. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons. The father always saying “Yes” to his son’s request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his fater, “Dad, let’s join the Ironman together.”To which, his father said “Yes”.
Now just in case you wouldn’t know, ‘The Iron Man’ is the hardest triathlon in existence;
4 Km Swimming, 180 Km Biking, and finally another 42 Km Running, in one stroke!
Again, father said ‘Yes’.
Also, there was one comment from the first video that said this.
“Believe or dont believe in God thats your choice. But the courage , the love and the selflessness shown by these people is something that should make each one of us want to be better people.
Getting caught up in whether this is down to God or not is missing the point.
This is about courage and love and I for one wish I had a fraction of that shown by these people.”
Can never agree more.
After watching the video, or any inspiring videos, it struck me that really, the things or some i’m worrying and thinking about every single bloody day is really not that important anymore. Seeing these people being incredibly selfless does make us wonder what have we been doing, doesn’t it?
I suggest you google ‘Team Hoyt’ and read the information on wikipedia.

Currently,
A long time ago, I was on the verge of committing suicide when a guy came to the roof to have lunch. He saw me climbing over the railing and asked me to share his lunch with him. After receiving my puzzled look, he explained, “everyone should die happy. or at least with a full stomach.” We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last month.

- That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong. -William J. H. Boetcker
They’ve gained more respect compared to anybody else and they deserve it the most. But why does it seem that we are all putting everything else before all these basic values. It doesn’t matter who the hell we are or what the hell we’ve been through or what we’ve done. A wrong choice is not necessarily a mistake, it’s just a decision that was not carefully thought through and the guilt may still be there. There’s only one thing to do and that is to be better. If you are going to lie about anything, please do not even waste your slightest effort saying it or thinking about it. There are always thoughts of being this person I aim to be but they are always unanswered. Never will I be able to change mindsets but allowing them to realize would be good enough because that could lead to a potential change with constant reminder.
All these didn’t just come randomly. It came when watching what was happening live in Brazil last night/this morning. Sportsmen have so much respect for one another and I look up to them so much more now. Even the driver I dislike. Yes, he’s reckless and all, but he is doing his job and he has to. Boring phrase, Rome wasn’t built in a day so Respect isn’t earned just by judging one incident. And it truly applies. Today, you may be a good person but tomorrow, you might do something that disgust the whole entire world. But being able to admit it and be better, will earn you an extra star on the respect board.
I don’t know why but I think people should watch sports. Maybe not all because you might not like some, but there are some that are worth watching because you might learn new things that you never knew existed. You’ll realize how much honor these people hold for one another. Different from normal TV dramas, or sometimes reality shows that were plotted, you never know what’s going to happen. At all.
Little things that we cannot learn from the internet, books, we learn them through going through it and seeing it with our own eyes. That is probably one of the best ways to learn anything. It’s good to be quiet sometimes because we have 2 ears, we’re supposed to listen and see twice as much as we talk. There are people who have the least respect for anybody even though they say they do. Not everything’s being picked up from family and friends. It’s your instinctive value.
Being honest, is one of the greatest thing anybody can be and they are constantly role models to me. No matter what you’re admitting. Now why do people say things that are not true and they bother making up a story. What’s the whole point of it, do you get pleasure from doing stupid things like that? Is it worth lying about in the first place, it’s just plain disgusting.
With all mentioned, thank you for taking the time to read all of this.

FAME with GPH & CJZ on Friday. Ehhhh, not the most fantastic movie, not the miracle movie that can magically remove popcorn smell from your hair, but the music, dance and singing is pretty awesome.
On some days, it’s not all about Me or I. There are times where others deserve it more than us but we constantly fail to realize that.
