Felix Baumgartner

Felix Baumgartner

has become the first skydiver to go faster than the speed of sound, reaching a maximum velocity of 833.9mph (1,342km/h).

After flying to an altitude of 39,045 meters (128,100 feet) in a helium-filled balloon, Felix Baumgartner completed a record breaking jump from the edge of space, exactly 65 years after Chuck Yeager first broke the sound.

Some people are born to break the record and push the limits to extreme where no one has ever tried it before. They dare to do it by taking risk of life!

Physical Challenge didn't stop him

About Nick Vujicic

(From Wiki) Nicholas James Vujicic (born 4 December 1982) is a Serbian Australian evangelist and motivational speaker born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterised by the absence of all four limbs. As a child, he struggled mentally and emotionally as well as physically, but eventually came to terms with his disability and, at the age of seventeen, started his own non-profit organisation, Life Without Limbs. Vujicic presents motivational speeches worldwide, on life with a disability, hope and finding meaning in life. He also speaks about his belief that God can use any willing heart to do his work and that God is big enough to overcome any and all disabilities.
Although he is physically challenged with his strong will, determination and faith he did over come the physical challenge with mental strength and became most successful in life than an ordinary person.

How did he succeed?

He focused mind on what he could rather what he don't have. He shifted thoughts to POSSIBILITIES from negative to positive. Instead of thinking WHY IT CAN'T BE DONE, HE THINK HOW IT CAN BE DONE?
