The most touching video I've ever seen...

I just came across a video about a father and a son. The father has a disability, he can't move. The son, however decides to go for the Ironman competition with his old man, regardless. And they made it.

This is the video.

That video made me ask myself: Do I have any real problems or I make them up to have something to complain about? hmmm...

Puts it all into perspective huh? A few weeks back at our annual staff meeting we had a presentation from a motivational speaker who also works as a sports psychologist for olympic athletes. He showed us a video of a Chinese guy competing in a swimming event in the paralympics who had no arms (had lost them both in a road accident at age 9). He said to us all "If you think your life is tough, watch this" and showed us the video of this guy winning the gold medal.
