·Challenge Yourself

EVERYONE NEEDS SOMETHING TO aim for. You an call it a challenge, or you can call it a goal. It is what makes us uman. It was challenges that took us from being caveman to eaching for the stars.

If you challenge yourself, you will grow. Your ife will change. Your outlook will be positive. It’s not always easy to each your goal but that’s no reason to stop. Never say die. Say ourself ‘I can do it. I’ll keep on trying until I win.’

For me, there are wo types of challenge. One is to do the bests I can at work. The ther is to seek adventure. I try to do the both. I try to stretch myself to the limit. I am driven. I love the challenge of looking for new things and new ideas. To me, the stretch is fun.

My first big hallenge came when I was four or five years old and we went to evon for two weeks one summer. Dad’s sisters and an uncle went
with us. When we got there, I ran onto the beach and started at he ea. I couldn’t swim and Auntie Joyce bet me ten shillings that I ouldn’t learn to swim by the end of the holiday. I took the bet, sure I ould win. Most days, the sea was rough and the waves were high, ut I tried for hours. Day after day, I splashed along, with one oot on the bottom. I grew blue with cold and swallowed a lot of eawater, but still I couldn’t swim.
