The Story of Milo

In brief, his story goes as following. Milo wanted to get stronger: Milo decided to lift a calf onto his shoulders everyday. As the calf grew Milo needed more force to lift the calf. Eventually the calf became a full grown steer and Milo could lift it onto his back.

Aside from being an inspiring power lifting allusion, it describes how adaptable the human state is. If you convince your body or your mind that it has to do something, it will. Further, if you commit yourself to increasing the expectations you have for yourself eventually you can do the unimaginable.

There is an innate voice that tells us to impose limitations on ourselves and this mechanism is often protective but I think the people in this world who have learned to ignore this voice are the ones who are truly able to achieve greatness.

where did that come from? I'm not sure but you can insert any great person's story here to make it sensible.
