The fact that any of us may seem incredible, this man does every day in any weather. Someone else in his place would have long given up, but the man firmly demolishes all the trials that fate sends him.

Ten years ago, in 1988 at the Detroit resident James Robertson's car broke down. Man earns $ 10.55 per hour and can not afford to buy a new car.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he decided that he would go to work on foot. This did not bother him that the way this big already and is 34 km there and back.



local newspaper published an article about how this decisive man overcomes impressive each time the distance on the way to work, passing a huge distance on foot, and only a portion of its driving by bus.

Evan Lydie, 19-year-old student, read about the man, and was shocked by what he has to do. It was filled with a desire to do something to help, so he started a foundation to raise funds for a car for Robertson. The young man said that he was struck by a calm and confident demeanor of a man who does not complain about his fate and goes a great distance every day without thinking.

This story has found an echo in the hearts of people, and the fund donated more than $ 149 000. This is one car company has promised to give James Robertson car. According to Evan Lydie on the collected money to the man they want to buy a house not far from work.



Robertson was shocked when I heard about it, but did not refuse from the present, as long walking journey and lack of sleep badly harassed him.

That's what a man who clearly sees the goal. I'd like to read this story plenty of people who are never satisfied with what they have. Share this article about this incredible man with your friends!
