  • Yea, most have done something worth mentioning.

    But almost none of them have done something absolutely awe inspiring as going solo to the north pole or the south pole, or climbing all 14 8000m peaks.

    Try something like that before you act like it's not a big deal. It's different from winning a beauty pageant.

  • Everyone of us should do one great thing before death takes us away.

  • Really inspirational but real life is about dealing with real shit (literally and figuratively)…this would have been a truly complete story if he shared that bit.

  • This guy and I share the same kind of teachers.... xD

  • wow..love the video..Thanks a lot!

    

  • Not all great accomplishments are of this sort. (Not to take away from this achievement, techno gadgets, pick-up, and all...) Some of the greatest acts acheived by humankind will go uncelebrated. The fact that people do them anyway is what makes our species great.

  • @Mephistoroth - it's also an incredibly pointless thing to do. actually ranking way down there with winning beauty pageants. bad Discovery channel stuff

  • geweldig ben gek op je

  • @shiftyden nee dat meen je niet?!?

  • @U3SGaming

    meen je dit echt??

    Dit is niet de gene die jij denkt;)

  • En dan ook nog eens zo verschrikkelijk goed kunnen zingen, niet normaal zeg!
