Nothing is impossible, impossible is nothing.

Human spirit is something that will never give up. It's no wonder the doctor say when you lose your taste for life, your health will decline. And still, most of our life time we don't even consider this power a real power. Story of Phillippe Croizon amazed me and gave me another proof nothing was impossible for a man. This man swam across English channel. That wouldn't be that amazing – but the most surprising part of this information was that he lost all his limbs years ago. A situation that would take away all fortune and will to carry on brought this man the opposite. When he was in the hospital he saw a documentary about a swimmer crossing the channel and the desi! re was born. Jung said it very simply once, man couldn't stand a life without a meaning. Croizon who survived 20,000 volt charge attack and lost all his limbs in 1994 had to train two years until he finally got the courage to do it. He began his journey on English side and swam with specially designed flipper-shaped prosthetic legs. According to his support team he reached a speed of three kilometers (2 miles) per hour and was accompanied by dolphins for a part of the journey. The weather was good and Croizon managed to reach the speed just slightly lower than normal athletes would do. And he carried on 13 and half hours till he reached the cliff near the Wissant coast in Calais. Immediately after he was taken back to England by the boat. Croizon fulfilled his dream, but surely it wasn't the only one. I consider it a perfect lecture for us – healthy people. A life, power and beauty can rise even from those we were considering almost dead. If you hear the story abou! t a man who wrote a book just with a glimpse of his eye (becau! se he wa s completely disabled and couldn't do anything, but move his eye), then you don't hear about unfortunate man, you hear a true story about a genius.
