Lorry Driver

This lorry driver has been to the Tony Robbins school of positive thinking: it is in moments of decision that destiny is shaped.

Take his example. He has driven up a narrow mountain pass, and decided he would rather take a more 'scenic' route. Choice a) suck it up and continue driving, or b) reverse and risk horrible death.

As you will see from the video, he takes the risking-horrible-death route. In his cabin, he is already imagining a better, more fulfilling life as a result of his fearless decision. Either that or he's got testes made of unobtanium.
