Bear Grylls Quote

There has been one further element to success, and that is its underlying message. I believe it is actually the biggest factor.If you think about it, at heart, there is such a strong link between survival and life. I mean, we are all in a battle of some sort, aren’t we?Surviving.It feels like day by day sometimes.But talent, skill, and luck are only a part of what carries people through.A small part.There is a bigger element that separates the real survivors. It is heart, hope, and doggedness. Those are the qualities that really matter.Ditto in life.A young kid came up to me in the street a few days ago. He looked me square in the eye and asked me: If you could tell me one survival message, what would it be?I thought about it for a moment. I wanted to give him a decent answer.Then I saw it very clearly.Smile when it’s raining, and when you’re going through hell--keep going.The boy thought for a moment.Then he looked up at me and said: It rains a lot where I live.We all know the feeling.Maybe he’ll remember the message one day--when he really needs it.
