I agree but instead of thinking of them as 'madmen' I always ask myself what I can learn from it and how I can push myself beyond my own boundaries - getting out the comfort zone so to speak. I think alot of our thinking is also moulded by society. I never even knew of a tougher race than the TDF, but seeing what this guy did makes them look a bit 'soft' (for lack of a better word! We need to get off our asses and get going!

 

Yeah, if that's what drives you, sure.

 

Many very successfull business people are similar, the pursuit is the same, the objective (money, power) is just differant - but there is no accent without a corresponding decent, and sometimes the downside is very onerous, loss of family, wife, financial difficulties etc - often times actually, its the family who bear the brunt of this single minded pursuit, not really fair in my opinion.
