“From my very first day as an entrepreneur, I’ve felt the only mission worth pursuing in business is to make people’s lives better.” <\/strong>
– <\/strong>Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson,<\/strong><\/em> an English business magnate, investor, author and philanthropist.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“Each of us is here for a brief sojourn, for what purpose he knows not, though sometimes thinks he feels it.” <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“We exist for our fellow men – in the first place for those on whose smiles and welfare all our happiness depends, and next for all those unknown to us personally with whose destinies we are bound up by the tie of sympathy.”<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Albert Einstein,<\/em><\/strong> a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, once said: “A hundred times every day, I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labours of other men, living or dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. …..not to engross an unnecessary amount of the labour of my fellow men.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Definition of “A Man On A Mission”
: A person who has an<\/em> undertaking to achieve a task that considered to be a very important duty to self or the community that someone belongs to.<\/em><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Let name the protagonist as A.man, “A Man On A Mission”. A.man can be a man or a woman and from a different nationality, social class, culture or race and has a growth mindset<\/a><\/strong>. A.man can also be a group of like-minded and committed individuals whose mission is to complete the important task that all of them believed in.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

A.man is not the strongest, mightiest and most powerful individual ever on the planet earth but the first among peers, to pioneer and overcome a mental and physical barrier to a new frontier of personal development, advancement and achievement, from the impossible to “I’m possible!”.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n


A 4-minute mile<\/strong> According to legend, experts said for years that the human body was simply not capable of attaining it <\/strong>.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t just dangerous; it was impossible. Further legends hold that people had tried for over a thousand <\/em>years to break the barrier, even tying bulls behind them to increase the incentive to do the impossible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sir Roger Bannister <\/em><\/strong>
(23 March 1929 \u2013 3 March 2018)
was a British middle-distance athlete and neurologist. He set himself to do what was considered un-doable.\u00a0 He alone was able to create that certainty in himself without seeing any proof that it could be done. He accomplished this feat on 6 May 1954 at Iffley Road track in Oxford, United Kingdom, with a time of 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A<\/strong> world record in the mile run<\/strong> is the best mark set by a male or female runner in the middle-distance track and field event. The IAAF is the official body which oversees the records. Hicham El Guerrouj is the current men’s record holder with his time of 3:43.13, while Svetlana Masterkova has the women’s record of 4:12.56.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On top of the tallest mountain_Mount Everest<\/strong> Sir Edmund Percival Hillar<\/em>y<\/strong> (20 July 1919 \u2013 11 January 2008) was a New Zealand mountaineer, explorer, and philanthropist. On 29 May 1953, Hillary and Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers confirmed to have reached the summit of Mount Everest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Lowest Sea Dive\u00a0<\/strong>Scuba organizations say recreational divers shouldn\u2019t go below about 130 feet, but one Egyptian diver recently ventured a bit deeper \u2014 going more than 1,000 feet below the ocean surface and setting a world record in the process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The record-breaking dive took place on September 23, 2014 , when Ahmed Gabr plunged about 1,090 feet into the Red Sea off the coast of Dahab, Egypt in 12 minutes.
Ahmed Gabr<\/em><\/strong> (Born 9 November 1972 – ) is an Egyptian scuba diver who holds the Guinness World Records for both The Deepest Scuba Dive and The Deepest Scuba Dive in Sea Water. According to Guinness World Records<\/a>, that descent \u2014 about as deep as New York City\u2019s Chrysler Building is tall \u2014 is the deepest scuba dive ever.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Highest Attitude Free Fall Parachute Jump \/ Sky Diving \/ Space Diving<\/strong> Alan Eustace<\/strong><\/a><\/em> (Born 1956 – ) an American computer scientist, formally working at Google, set the current world highest and longest free fall jump record in October 24, 2014 when he jumped from 135,908 feet<\/strong> (41.425 km). Higher jumps from the mesosphere or thermosphere have yet to be successfully performed, though Orbital Outfitters is working to create a suit that will enable safe space diving.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Alan Eustace, a twin-engine-jet pilot, was not widely known as a daredevil prior to his jump. He ascended via balloon to 135,899 feet stratosphere<\/em> and returning safely with little more than a spacesuit and a parachute\u2014the jump broke Felix Baumgartne world record set in 2012.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

His descent to Earth lasted 4 minutes 27 seconds and stretched nearly 26 miles (42\u00a0km) with peak speeds exceeding 822 miles per hour (1,323\u00a0km\/h), setting new world records for the highest free-fall jump and total free-fall distance 123,414 feet (37,617\u00a0m).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

First solo, unsupported, unaided crossing in Antarctica Continent<\/strong> Colin Timothy O’Brady<\/em><\/strong> (Born
16 March 1985 – ) is an American professional endurance athlete, motivational speaker and adventurer. O’Brady is a three-time world record holder. In 2016 he set the Explorers Grand Slam and Seven Summits speed records.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Colin O\u2019Brady made it across Antarctica alive, alone, 932 miles across the continent in 54 days, and way ahead of schedule.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That feat makes O’Brady the first person to ever cross the southern continent on a solo, unsupported mission without getting resupplied or using a kite.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“This is something that no one in history has ever accomplished, and people have been trying for 100 years,” O’Brady told Business Insider before he started the record-breaking trek.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

According to his live-tracking map, O’Brady reached his finish line on the Ross Ice Shelf on December 26, 2018. He quickly followed up with photo proof<\/a>, confirming he’d skied 932 miles across the frozen desert, towing a sled full of gear.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Every other person who’s tried that before has either given up or died. A British explorer, Louis Rudd, is also racing to accomplish the same lofty goal, but Rudd was still 73 miles from the finish line when O’Brady arrived on the edge of the shelf at the Leverett Glacier.\u00a0\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
