it takes a person, parachute,high perch or a platform to make a skydive or Freefall..Fear and courage, skill and strength, men or women or boys and girls is well..a
different story altogether..
It is for all and anyone, really.but it is above anything else for sure..Don't believe me !?Then do it !!!

"Slowly dies who becomes a slave of habit,
repeating every day the same road,
who doesn't change the gear,
who never risks changing the colour of his clothes,
who doesn't speak to whom he doesn't know.

Slowly dies who doesn't turn the table upside down,
who's unhappy at work,
who doesn't risk the certainties for the unknown to pursue a dream,
who doesn't allow himself to run away from wise suggestions,
at least once in a lifetime.

Slowly dies who doesn't travel, who doesn't read,
who never listens to music, who doesn't find grace in himself.
Slowly dies who destroys his self-esteem,
who spends every day to complain about either his bad luck
or the never-ending rain.

Let's avoid death in small doses,
keeping in mind that being alive
always requests a much bigger effort than
the simple fact of breathing."

~ Pablo Neruda
