“If you want to excel in life, self motivation is essential. You must know how to motivate yourself. You must be able to keep your spirit high no matter how discouraging a situation is. That’s the only way to get the power you need to overcome difficulties. Those who are discouraged in difficult times are certain to lose even before the battle is over.”

Indeed, in our everyday life there bounds to have snag: – a problem faced, a difficult situation, etc. One’s morale may become low and easy to simply give up, saying ‘it is impossible!’

Sometimes ago, there was story about a father and a son:

The son says to his father: ‘Dad, would you be willingly to run a marathon with me?

The father, despite his age and a heart disease, says ‘YES’.

And they run that marathon, together.

The son asks: ‘Dad, can you run another marathon with me?’ Again father says ‘YES’.

They run another marathon, together.

One day the son asks his father: Dad would please do the Iron Man with me?’

Now just in case you wouldn’t know, ‘The Iron Man’ is the toughest triathlon in existence; 4km swimming, then 180 km by bike, and finally another 42 km running, in one stroke.

Again father says ‘YES’

This is a true story of Dick and Rick Hoyt, the father and son who have teamed (“TeamHoyt”) to overcome disabilities while competing in triathlons, marathons and road races throughout the world, watch and enjoy the video below:

So, hope that with this touching true story, it can help to motive you and those surrounding you. Also, don’t forget that while you are making friends online, do share with them this touching story and motivate each and every of your online friends. (One way is to do a ’social bookmarking sharing’ or put in in one of your ’social networking blog’).

Cheers!
