Since the past, people around the world started to invent something
which was believed to be impossible at that time. Wright brothers were
credited for their discovery in aviation. Thomas Alva Edison is known
for his lightbulbs. Namely a few, Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell,
and Benjamin Franklin were among the famous inventors during their time.
People challenge their capability in many areas. Competing each
other to be the leader in technology or to build the biggest and
tallest structures. In automotive industry, manufacture bet their
finest to produce not only the fastest and safest car, but also eco
friendly vehicle.
To be on top of the world, it means to work harder than the
competitor and like never before. Athletes work around the clock at
training. They are not just regular, but they are extraordinary. Just
for an example, Tony hawk is professional skateboarders who first to
land a ‘900’, a trick involving the completion of two-and-a-half
mid-air revolutions on a skateboard after 11th trials. Since then, that
trick seems easy and become a routine in his every appearance. Same
goes to other extreme games’ athletes.
Humans have been to the highest summit of the world and to deepest
part on earth, have experienced the fastest, the biggest; just name it,
all are there on the record. Yet they are still fighting to be the best
of the best – to the extreme.
The latest; ‘The Red Bull Stratos’ is a mission to the edge of
space, where Felix Baumgartner will be raised to 120,000 ft in a
stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump toward earth at
supersonic speeds before parachuting to the ground. This is not about
‘getting real’ but a ‘daredevil’ scene. One of the best thing about
getting involves in an extreme project is that, it allows ones to work
with the greatest. This program brings together experts from world's
leading minds in aerospace medicine, engineering, pressure suit
development, capsule creation and balloon fabrication.
Next time when people say ‘get real’ is probably means limit yourself.
That is only good for those who seek for security. But if we really
want to achieve great, don't get real, but get intelligent and go
beyond what is right or proper; excessively forward. Be extraordinary.
Because what is real to us today is based on our past experiences and
if we limit our future base on our past we hardly go anywhere
