We whose ancestors crossed the seas in sailing boats to the new world with very little idea of what was before them were also brave souls. Especially, those that came of a free choice to make their way after weeks and months at sea, in a heaving boat to a home that they could only hope about.

They later found stones used as anchors on the other side of the Pacif, which could have only come from South America. I think the guy who built the ship was in the Norwegian resistance during the war.

Sometimes, when people tell you you're crazy, they're correct. But that doesn't necessarily mean you're wrong. And there's a saying: crazy like a fox.

We would have no historic achievements to talk about if none of those people didn't take a chance and rise above the challenges due to a lack of support. Having the people around you who know you best is vital to fulfilling your dreams when they support them despite the odds. Unfortunately, having that necessary human support is oftentimes missing. This is when inner strength and having a strong will must take over, even if everyone is calling you crazy.
