Bold and Daring
I always wonder what drives people to do things that could potentially cost their life. I was watching a program on discovery yesterday where they were showing people attempting to climb Mount Everest. According to the report the climbers know that there is a very high risk for them to die. But they still go ahead and do it. Some die and some are successful.
Regular humans do not usually try to pursue something like that. I guess you got to have an extra special courage and a totally different mindset to attempt to do something like that. Whenever I see programs like that it always makes me wonder how some people can be so bold and daring.
I guess these are people who don’t want Normal ordinary life. At the end of their life they want to say that they tried to do something different and daring than others. I think it’s more of a personality thing than anything else.
What do you think?

mate if we all had your attitude my country (Australia) would never have been colonised ad I would never be here. If people never took risks to prove or find somehting then we'd be back like the cavemen! Think about that! People HAVE to risk things or where would we be!
You are right anonymous. But how many of them are like that? Very few do such things to bring about a difference in others life.
There are everyday heroes and heroines - construction workers, fire fighters, cops, etc. For what they do it takes a certain amount of courage that I do not have. I have a lot of respect for people that have overcome/never had the fears I have.
People that take a leap from this are people that have no fear of death who try doing things that are extremely daring and record breaking. That is surely awesome.
