Mud, Sweat and Tears

Product Information

I haven’t always succeeded, and I haven’t always had the most talent, but I have always given of myself with great enthusiasm—and that counts for a lot.” If we tell ourselves often enough that we don’t have what it takes, then that will inevitably become our reality.” Jen Charney (26 April 2012). "Book review: "Mud, Sweat, and Tears," by Bear Grylls". The Washington Post . Retrieved 29 April 2018. It is impossible to rate somebody's life story, no matter how remarkable, so I am just revising the storytelling here - I didn't get used to the style but the book was quite gripping nevertheless. Most of the narrative was vague (I am not talking about confidential SAS material here) and repetitive (it was hard to move forward, always hard.. to... move... forward... Yeah, ok, that is what you'd expect from a military training or climbing the Mount Everest, but HOW? WHY?)

I am so grateful for this. It has provided me with a real anchor to my life and has been the secret strength to so many great adventures since. I think what I wanted most out of this book was to learn about how Bear Grylls became the famous person we know, today. What convinced him to join the SAS? How did he recover from that widely-publicized parachuting disaster? How did he end up hosting several TV series? I got some of what I wanted out of the book, but perhaps he thought some of those bits I was most interested in were either too painful or too boring. He also mentions a list of near-death experiences he's had (he stopped at 50) but doesn't actually tell what happened in a single one of those events. I would have loved to hear about those, but he does admit he doesn't like to think about them. His objective is not to come close to death but to challenge himself, enjoy life, and keep living. He is not perfect, flawless or fearless nor is he ‘taken in’ (like so many have been) by status and wealth. His Christian faith is what keeps him humbly grounded, alongside his perspective on life that’s ultimately broadened his horizons. I am in awe of his astonishing, courageous feats of extreme danger and wonder including the adventure of a lifetime: scaling Mount Everest. Yet, in reading this profoundly poignant narrative I am touched by those words of wisdom that strike a chord within. Alistair Campbell (6 February 2015).

I chose to read this book because I am a big fan of Bear Grylls's show Man vs Wild and I thought it would be very interesting to read this book. It fills in the 'autobiography' box on the bingo board. Life is all about getting up again, dusting yourself down again, learning from the lessons and then pushing on.” Lucy Kellaway (20 March 2015). "The Lucy Kellaway Interview: Bear Grylls". The Financial Times . Retrieved 3 May 2018. It's full of adventure and endurance, self-discipline, extremely hard training and the willingness to go against fear and take (somewhat crazy, but lessons learned) risks. He really has done a lot of living and traveling in his life! Not to mention climb a lot of rooftops and trees while at Eaton - I was really surprised about that.

I have always loved the quote from John F. Kennedy: ‘When written in Chinese, the word “crisis” is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.’” If people ask me today what I love about climbing mountains, the real answer isn’t adrenalin or personal achievement. Mountains are all about experiencing a shared bond that is hard to find in normal life.”

Faith in Christ has been the great empowering presence in my life, helping me walk strong when so often I feel so weak. It is no wonder I felt I had stumbled on something remarkable that night up that tree.

Bear Grylls comes clean from childhoold to manhood. Readers learn about his childhood, family life and values, his time in the elite Special Air Service (SAS), expeditions into the wild and unknown, his love life, education, you name it. I do not normally read autobiography, but my son and his family bought this book for me because they know I enjoy reading and like Bear Grylls. Only the poor in spirit are really poor. He who has lost all, but retains his courage, cheerfulness, hope, virtue, and self-respect, is still rich. ovo nije neka dubiozna knjiga, tek autobiografski zapis čovjeka koji ima ogromnu volju i strast za životom. ne otkriva neke nove dubokoumnosti, ali one male koje dijeli s nama iskrene su i dolaze iz srca. To me, Christian faith is all about being held, comforted, forgiven, strengthened and loved—yet somehow that message gets lost on most of us, and we tend only to remember the religious nutters or the God of endless school assemblies.” My first time reading a book by Bear Grylls was his Survival Guide For Life, which lays out a variety of rules Bear gives to try and follow in your day to day life. Each one would be followed by some story from his own life, and these tales of wild adventures climbing mountains and piloting boats through storms were all reflections of what I'd always imagined a life well lived to look like. What was more, each story was told in earnest prose which came off as completely unpretentious and genuine. I was, and I use what is perhaps an overused word with great sincerity, inspired.Kindness is one of the most important things in life and can mean so much. Try never to hurt those you love. We all make mistakes, and sometimes, terrible ones, but try not to hurt anyone for the sake of your own selfishness.” Designed to reflect Zion's powerful mantra "out of the mud," the Jordan Zion 3 captures the essence of his hard-fought journey to NBA stardom. The engineered mesh that graces the upper showcases a refreshing mint tone, harmoniously juxtaposed with a vibrant multi-color TPU overlay, impressively 3D scanned from the splash Zion made stepping into the mud. The iconic Jumpman logo proudly sits atop the tongue, rendered in a bold blue hue that beautifully contrasts the predominant mint. Zion's distinctive logo, surrounded by meticulous embroidery, accentuates the heel. The performance aspects of the shoe don't disappoint either, boasting a drop-in midsole made of Formula 23 foam combined with a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot. The tricolored rubber outsole—mint, blue, and pink—stamps the design with finality, bearing Zion's branding in its center.
