Man Moves a Mountain

Never underestimate yourself. With the right motivation it is insane what the individual can achieve.

"Manjhi did not want anyone else to suffer the same fate as his wife, so he carved a path 360-foot-long (110 m) through-cut, 25-foot-deep (7.6 m) in places and 30-foot-wide (9.1 m) to form a road[5] through a mountain in the Gehlour hills, working day and night for 22 years from 1960 to 1982. His feat reduced the distance between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of the Gaya district from 55 km to 15 km, bringing him national acclaim.[2][6][7] He died on August 17, 2007.[8] He was given a state funeral by the Government of Bihar."

This guy moved a mountain over the course of 22 years. What the hell have you done recently?
