That's true! But doing things that only have 1% chance is exciting. That’s what life is all about! You know what is even harder? What has even lass that 1% chance? Winning a World Cup in bigair snowboard competition! And I managed to do that 4 times.. If I don’t choose the hardest tasks out there, my life would be boring ... Easy as that.

#33Interesting idea. A couple of suggestions: 1) Don't do the auto countdown thing with the camera.

#40Seriously though, I hope this idea catches on and it can possibly be the start of a trend of social media users becoming more "humble". It would be nice to see things flipped on it's head and move away from the push model of "here I am, here is a constant stream of useless shit about me".
