Bear Grylls Quote

Whenever I got out of bed I had to wear a big metal brace that was strapped around me.I felt like an invalid. I was an invalid. This was crazy.As it was, I had done the worst of both worlds: I had neither gone for the reserve straight away nor had I managed to land the canopy with any degree of skill.I felt I could have avoided this accident if I had been smarter, faster, clearer-headed. I had messed up, and I knew it.I vowed that I would never fall short in those areas again.I would learn from this, and go on to become the fastest, clearest-thinking dude on the planet.But for now, the tears kept coming.
