[MelsLemonade]

im happy that ur alive that must have been soooo scary for u

[hemant532]

u r legend mate. i hope i can meet you one day to get inspiration from yaa.i salute yaa mate.u r a real hero

[warrenmacdonald]

Nice one! Not many people get there; and it's such a beautiful place!

[sophziixD]

I live in cairns! and i went to hinchinbrook island with my friends last year :O you are such an inspiration warren

[tedoubleu]

This is very cool and inspiring!! Warren, you the man!!!

[ooohmikatglitter]

Hi Warren, My brother has muscular dystrophy and can't walk. His muscles digress and completely fail. Seeing you as a person who doesn't let what happened to you get you down and just pushes you further and propels you forward gives me hope as to what he can do one day and how he can keep living, regardless of his physical limitations. Thanks for being such an amazing person, and not ever giving up. -Dawn

[warrenmacdonald]

@ooohmikatglitter Thanks Dawn for your comments. Walking is overrated anyway, am sure you're brother is capable of living a full, amazing life. By all accounts, he probably already is.

[LOLCaatz]

Queensland cyclone :(

[mdppptro]

if he just pissed where he was, none of this would have happened. also, .. the real hero is the other guy who SAVED his life

[skinnybubblebutt]

I'm impressed with the man Gert, who saved Warren's life, as well as with Warren who keeps it going!

[simonvh88]

As they say in karate, when they offer the most honest and deep respect: Osu! Thank you for your inspiring story.

I hope people realize they only lose when giving up.

[BAZZZ0511]

It goes all about Warren, but what about the man who saved him, Geert, without him he would be dead! I think Geert is the REAL HERO here!!!

[ChannelFoe]

THAT CRAYFISH WAS AN ASSHOLE! TIPPING AT YOU'RE FEET!

[atlastchance]

you show how strong human beings are made by God..

[princeci]

Warren MacDonald is a survivor and a inspiration how to survive in situations like that. Geert Van Keulen is THE REAL HEROE and Warren should be grateful to him until his very last day.

Well done Geert you are a true hero for giving so much to try to find help for a person you didn't know at all!!!

[adiadv10]

I have a lot of respect for Mr. MacDonald and I appreciate his inspirational outlook on life, but I'm disappointed by the lack of credit given to Geert van Keulen in most of the videos I've seen. He nearly killed himself in a race against time to save a stranger's life. If I were listening to a motivational speaker, I would be very moved by the appreciation a survivor had for the person who went above and beyond to save them. I mean no disrespect toward MacDonald and his amazing accomplishments.

[klittle2238]

Here's one for you .....found this quote , not sure by whom - but it sounds good , think you will like it.."Life should Not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body.But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in hand,body thourougly used up , totally worn out and screaming "WHOO-HOO " "WHAT A RIDE!!"

[klittle2238]

Wareen,

Dude - you are AWESOME!!!! truly inspiring!

[italopeirano]

you are very inspirational to all of us, especially those that are struggling with difficulties in life. and there is definately light at the end of the tunnel. and if it is not in this life, probably in the next one.

[Palamneus]

Warren your so cool. You speak like you know because you do, its humbling honestly. Glad your still doing what you love.

[schaub12345]

wow what was the feeling u had when u saw that yebi nipping at u

[dancinggymnast98]

I felt so bad for you ever since I first saw the episode on I shouldn't be alive. I was horrified and I thought about it for that whole next day. I hope your doing well now and I wish you so much luck. Congrats for all the things you achieved since then. Justin

[TheMeangirl69]

at 2:13 that must hurt like heck man!!! I feel sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sory for you:(

[gootvery]

[timfbmx]

Hey Warren if you ever read this I just wanted to tell you, your an inspiration to me to never give up with anything I wana accomplish in life. Thanks for sharing your story with the world.

[warrenmacdonald]

Thanks! It's the most important thing to realise in life; that we can accomplish more that we ever dream possible. Figure out what you want to do, and go for it!

Warren

[TheMeangirl69]

Excuse me for my bad english

Paolo

[agnibhochak]

Hello Warren,I saw this and told this to all my friends and now you are a big hero here in my college.You really are a hero mate.

[warrenmacdonald]

Thanks. I don't see myself as a hero, but I'm happy that you do:) I think we're all heroes in a way if we're doing what we need to do.

[devesh9999]

Hey Warren

I saw your videa on 'I shouldn't be alive' and i was shocked.

I have read about many real life heroes and u r definately at the top of the list.

I wish i can meet u someday and go trekking.

congratulations on ur success

[warrenmacdonald]

Thanks Devesh for your comment. I'm not a hero; I just like to explore the limits of human potential. I'm more of an explorer that a hero, but of course I'm glad you've reached out.

[ulusmall]

dude, you are amazing!

i saw that episode of you on i shouldnt be alive

and i was in awe.

if i were in the same position you were in, i could have never hanged on for that long.

you taught me to never give up no matter how hopeless situations may be. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[warrenmacdonald]

What do you mean you couldn't hang on; of course you could, if you had to... We are all way more powerful than we give ourselves credit for...

Warren

[Mojay17]

Warren, Hope you dont mind me asking , but do you believe in God ? do you think that God has a hand in shaping our lives ? Dont get me wrong I am not all trying to spread the 'word' or anything like that but please dont igonre this question as your answer is important to me.Thanks

[warrenmacdonald]

Thanks Mojay,

Do I believe in god? Not in a "religious sense, no. I believe in a higher power, a consciousness that we are all part of. I believe that god is more inside us that outside. I believe that we are all made up of the same energy, and when we realize and accept that, the world will be a better place...

[sweetamoramor]

warren you are a hero, last night i saw

(first time) your experience, it was amazing.....you change the world, you make the world a better place... kisses from Venezuela!!!

[timkim2008]

this story was amazing. how the two of you kept on trying even though things didn't look too good. i kept thinking about how you felt under that boulder. i will take your experience and use it in my every day life. "Never give up". God is good all the time. They say what doesn't kill you make you stronger. "You are stronger". God bless you.

[warrenmacdonald]

Thanks Timkin! Glad you passed by and that I've been able to help. All the very best to you!

I've been watching loads of these in recent weeks (click on my nameo and you'll see why) and this is one of the best I've seen. I'm embarking on a speaking career myself and I aspire to be like this guy. Good video too. If you are ever in the UK, drop me a line.

[warrenmacdonald]

Glad you liked it, and all the best with the motivational speaking. Warren

[Mojay17]

I have just come across your clip and found it to be very inspirational.I will keep coming back to it whenever my mind starts reminding me how useless I am.
