Real Life Spider Man

A reader of the site recently passed along the video below…

Within the video, Jyothi Raj puts on a tremendous physical display.   It will not take long for you to understand why Raj is known as the real life spider man.

He is also an example of a man who has defied the words below…

“Every day, people settle for less than they deserve. They are only partially living or at best living a partial life. Every human being has the potential for greatness.” – Bo Bennett

Many in this world would consider his feats impossible.  Raj obviously believed otherwise.  He didn’t acquire these talents overnight.  He’s clearly put in years of hard work.  He is just another example of human potential.

A consistent effort has a funny way of conquering even the most daunting challenges.

In the words of Winston Churchill,

“Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential”

No, it isn’t easy, and no one can do it for you.  Making the choice day after day is what ultimately separates the action takers from the action fakers.  It is up to the individual to decide.

    What I like about this is that without sponsorship, without equipment or any modern accoutremennts of the elite level athlete, this guy has literally catapulted himself to the forefront of parkour/ free running/ free climbing and all that.

    Although this video may seem impressive for a normal people, as a climber I don’t find it special.

    As an example I would rather name mans like this one spiders:
