“May 26th 2003 Aron Ralston was hiking; a boulder fell on
his hand. He waited four days, then amputated his arm with a pocket knife. New
Year’s Eve, a woman was bungee jumping in Zimbabwe. The cord broke. She fell into
a river and had to swim to land in crocodile-infested waters with a broken
collarbone. Claire Champlin was smashed in the face by a five-pound watermelon
propelled by a slingshot. Matthew Brobst was hit by a javelin. David Striegl
was punched in the mouth – by a kangaroo. The most amazing part about these
stories is when asked about the experience they all shrugged and said ‘Things
could have been worse.’ So go ahead, tell me you’re having a bad day. Every year
two million people die of dehydration. So it doesn’t matter if the glass is
half full or half empty, there’s water in the cup. Drink it, and stop
complaining.” – Rudy Fancisco
