LIVING ON THE EDGE

Living on the edge is what we all dream of......We think of the late Sir. Ed who was the 1st to concure Mt.Everest (or) of Richard Branson in his mind boggling bussiness adventures (or) of Hudini and his illusion stunts...

Why do we look in awe of these people...Why do we look at them with such amazment. Even when they die their life seems frozen in time....Why do we do it???Is it sub consious or consious??? or is it because they are successful??( On the contrary each one of us is successful in their own respective way)...

The main area that makes us awe after these people is because they push the limits of their boudaries day in and day out.....

Lets examine Richard Branson for example. I must say I am a great fan of his and these are my own views...

Richard branson in his early business life was a scoundrell. He smuggled music illegaly aross the borders and took numerous short cuts. He was and is the pinnacle of how a young business man should NOT be!!! I belive his early life motto was "Get rich or die trying" and you bet he got rich - at wat cost?

With all this we still look in awe of Mr.Branson. Every young enterpruner wants to be like him...Why???? I belive it is because he LIVES ON THE EDGE....

Living on the edge for Mr. Branson was to get rich!!!Get rich at all cost. To do this he brought music to the masses...He gave us Culture Clubs - Karma Kameleon...He gave us comfort when the peoples princess passed away by giving us Candle in the Wind with Elton John...In short LIVING ON THE EDGE for Mr.Branson was accomplished by enhancing the lives of men and women...

So you may ask..Do you Chris live on the edge..I do think so...I jumped on a plane when I graduated from university and went to a new land...I had no place to stay but a kind family took me in and let me stay in their garden shed...Life was rough, but Living on the Edge is much better than being pampered at home...

I do agree I get afraid at times when I realise that I am all alone in this great land...Neigh me and God all alone in this great land.....It does get to me....Being afraid has made me stronger...

When I was treated diffrently due to the color of my skin, I felt hurt...But that hurt made me a better man to treat all men as equals...

Living on the Edge is very scarey...Mr.Branson lived in fear..But his ways to escape that fear has made him rich but he is still poor.....In contrary Christ Jesus lived on the edge...Martin Lurther King lived on the edge...

Great men who chose to Live on the edge but made different choices on how to live on the edge..

We all need to live on the edge if we want to leave a mark in this world. That is the only true measure of how much you have lived on the edge!!!!

Living on the edge requires oneself to step into the unknow...The unknown is a furnace where cowards become fuel and the brave come out strong as Iron!!!
