"That's One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for Mankind"

My favorite moment in history has to be when Neil Armstrong was the first to walk on the moon in 1969.  This was a great moment in history because it showed someone who wasn't afraid to try something that no one had ever done.  He challenged himself to do something that most people believed to be impossible.  He chased his dream and followed his heart despite the risks and challenges involved.  We only get one life and have one chance to live how we want, and I think it is amazing and so inspirational that he was able to accomplish something so great.  Life is too short to sit back; everyone deserves happiness and everyone should at least try to go after what they want.  We literally have nothing to lose by chasing our dreams, no matter how big they are.  Neil Armstrong's moon landing proved this and he must have felt an incredible sense of accomplishment.  He was able to die a happy man knowing he went after what he truly wanted and got it too.

 

"I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats.  I don't intend to waste any of mine."
