Interesthing Sharing Week #1


And the prize for Week 1 goes to... ZEN!

Makoto Nagano is your average Japanese fisherman, but not-so-average winner of Ninja Warrior, a downright CRAZY Japanese TV endurance gameshow. Famed as the most consistent participant in the show's 10-year history, Nagano has reached the final stage no less than 4 times. Watch the video to understand how amazing that is!

As Zen shared, Nagano may not be the strongest person in Japan. Nor the fastest, most agile or most durable. But what made him stand out from 127 million other Japanese was his initiative to try out. Though others might watch and think to themselves, "Cheh, my uncle's friend's neighbour's sister's daughter's boyfriend's colleague also can do lahhh...", he had the guts and self-believe to get his butt off the couch and just do it.

Indeed, success doesn't always go to the most deserving. But more often than not, it goes to the most determined.
