Who Says You Can't? Cool Runnings v2.0

Sometimes a challenge can just seem to difficult. You can laugh yourself out of doing something by calling it "impossible" or "ridiculous". But every now and then we hear a story of human perseverance, of somebody wanting something so much that they will stop at nothing to get it.

Meet Luger Banani, a Tongan man with a dream of being the first Tongan to participate at a winter olympics, aiming for Sochi 2014. Whilst his story isn't controversy free (he changed his name to that of a German underwear company "Bruno Banani" in exchange for a sponsorship deal), it is an incredible story of human desire and perseverance.

Check out the clip!



So next time you find yourself staring at a seemingly impossible challenge, remember "The Flying Coconut", and remember that if the mind can believe it, the body can achieve it!
