Every guy in history at one point or another has said "I could do that.
Easy!" with a crowd of people behind him shaking their heads. The ego of
so many men have made so many other men eat their words, pay the check, and
take home leftovers for years of antagonizing taunts full of "I told you
so" and "SEE!.....SEE!"
I can see it now, two cavemen sitting around a fire saying "of course I
can pick up that burning log and balance it on my head." or two Englishmen
in the 14th century saying "It’s not the rats ya bugger. It’s all this tea
and crumpets, dare ya to touch the rat, give it a go then" Yes, I will
admit over 100 percent of the time the dares are stupid, but a solid 18 percent
end in injuries, 55 percent end in a lifelong story, 35 percent end in hurt
pride on either side of the bet, and two percent change history. (Don’t check
those numbers)
The guy that said "you Wright brothers are stupid, just take the
train" probably died alone and wasn't invited to all of the epic Wright
brother birthday parties full of hot flight attendants. How about the guy that
said "lemme understand this, you bored with Cheetos so you think you gonna
put cayenne pepper on some to make it better, that’s wack!" both evens
have changed our world entirely.
From the shyest person to the loudest, we are all seeking dominance in
anything that we truly appreciate. Maybe we're the only one in our circle of
friends, but someone out there is just as excited about the topic as you. Whether
it is just you and your friends testing yourselves, each of us tries to become
the alpha dog in one area or another.
To Experience new things and challenging yourself is what makes life worthwhile.
I want to to experience it all for myself so I can really tell people how it is.
Some challenges will be dumb and mostly just for entertainment. But to be
honest a lot of things in life are for just that reason. Either a tedious task
that needs to be completed or something to help us get our kicks. Life’s a
challenge, but only a man steps but to the plate and faces it.
