Remark :

“Two young men have the most incredible journey right up the east coast of Australia to Cape York in a Baby Austin Car – the total cost of oil and spirit for the whole trip was 12 pounds nineteen shillings and three pence. I first read this book when I was ten and have never forgotten that experience. It is inspiring to say the least and it re-enforces the notion that human beings can achieve whatever they set their sights on if they have the courage to do so.

I also have a copy of “Reach for the Sky” signed by Douglas Bader, when I met him at Long Reef Beach on 4 November l956 at a Surf Carnival held in his honour.
To see him walking along the sand in black leather shoes with consumate ease was just a truly magic moment in my life.”

Mario’s Response

The sentence that I bolded really caught my attention when I was reading the remark. I see a good sign (influence) that a book can give to the reader. It says “…can achieve whatever they set their sights on…”. The first thing that came to my mind is that the courage is there, so we only need to direct the sight. If it can be directed towards the sustainability problems, then this may come good..
