It's hard to accept you spent years of your life working towards something that never mattered Thats why so many leftists end up becoming so deranged and hypocritical, if you prove them wrong they just start screaming and screeching Instead of changing their mind
The initial lesson about finishing what you start is wonderful, emotive, and inspiring, and I don't want to take away from that. It's a great example of sheer will, commitment and dedication. If we dig deeper (pun, of course, intended), I think there's another, profound, bittersweet, lesson. Don't throw good money after bad. When you realize the road you are on is not leading where you want, it might be time to change. If you're halfway through a project and you realize there's a better way, there's no shame in pivoting and changing the plan.

It was an epic battle of his very own, never to be spoken of to no one. The enemy was not the mountain nor was it a physical thing. It lied within him the whole time. The battle was long and treacherous filled with heartbreak and despair. I feel as though he was victorious... I hope he was victorious...

The most admirable thing about him is not his stamina or commitment, but his wisdom. For many lesser men have spent as many years digging a hole for themselves.
In India, a guy named Dashrath Manjhi is known as a mountain man now. When his wife died in 1959 due to injury caused by falling from a mountain and due to the same mountain blocking easy access to a nearby hospital in time, he decided to carve a 110 meter-long , and 9.1 meter-wide path and 7.7 meter-deep path through a ridge of hills using only a hammer and a chisel. After 22 years of work, Dashrath shortened travel from 55 km to 15 km.
@@sriharshacv7760 In the UK you would not be allowed to alter the landscape without owning the land and having permission on top of that. These stories could no longer happen here, you'd simply be arrested. Becoming a wealthy nation has its drawbacks.
Dashrath Manjhi also known as Mountain Man, was an Indian laborer from Gehlaur village, near Gaya in the state of Bihar. When his wife died in 1959 due to injury caused by falling from a mountain and due to the same mountain blocking easy access to a nearby hospital in time, he decided to carve a 110 meter-long (360 ft), and 9.1 meter-wide (30 ft) wide path and 7.7 meter-deep (25 ft) path through a ridge of hills using only a hammer and a chisel.[4][5][6] After 22 years of work, Dashrath shortened travel between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya district from 55 km to 15 km.
You might wanna check out "Manjhi the mountain man" He did something similar like this. After his pregnant wife died because they couldn't transport her to nearest hospital because of a mountain. He dedicated his whole life breaking down that mountain so nobody in his village has to go through the same pain.

@@brody_pierogi Bollywood made a movie on him actually, Too bad it was leaked online before just after the release, so it didn't do much business. If you're wondering movie name is "Manjhi the mountain man"
It's crazy to walk through the tunnel, at one point it splits off for a short distance and over time it gets shorter and shorter. The fact that the man did it by himself is incredible.
So we love to see it! A man of sheer will and dedication to his desire! He yearned for a passage through and so he made one, all by himself! Then shortly after when he was done... He left. He didn't care that it wasn't going to be used, he wasn't shaken by the fact that there was a more efficient path made early on in his journey digging, he wanted to see that tunnel finished and he sure as hell wasn't going to cease digging! Impressive. Truly impressive! He serves as a great inspiration to us all, well done William Burro Schmidt!
Alot of people in a hurry to get somewhere going nowhere. 👍to William Henry Schmidt. His accomplishments are more than most people in an entire lifetime.
I can imagine him walking through his very own tunnel and remembering all the hardship he went through over many many years.I can also imagine why he left.He probably has nothing to do after and felt lost so he moved i think.But his resolve and grit got me.Anybody who met him in his lifetime should have felt honoured.This man should be remembered and introduced to children in school.
@@nexiuz2233 it may be idiotic to you ,but for him it's his lifes worth of work ,it's his will power no matter what he has to complete it and he did,very few can with stand that.
Bro played Deep Rock Galactic and after 3 hours he got influenced into mining irl. He has said “ROCK AND STONE!” “We’re rich!” And “Mushroom” ever since 😂
This man is a whole other level of dedication. this is how it feels to spend days writing a script then find a video that explains an easier way to do it in 30 minutes. I love game development.
I can identify. I spent 38 years working at a job and you miss it when you're not doing it and you know when you're done it won't matter. I did it and he did it and then you move on. Never quit. Never stop. Never give up. It mattered to him. Thats all that matters.
The true grit that allows everyone who told him he couldn't do it to control and determine the entire outcome of his life, yes indeed, he certainly showed them.
It's just as much about a man's will and legacy. He too, having made and being a man of mark should be given a place in history in earnest and respect. Seeing a project to it's finish, dedication, the spirit of an idea/ideal, not going around things but meeting a challenge head on. All of those years in the dark confronting a wall, not giving up until he literally saw the light at the end of his tunnel, coming out stronger and wiser on the other side. An Archetypal Journey of "Man's Search For Meaning" only understood and articulated for the Soul. "The moving hand writes, and in doing so moves on." Admirable to me, I could have worked beside him, 'broke bread' and even rejoiced for having known him. Thank you for this posthumous honor now.

The initial lesson about finishing what you start is wonderful, emotive, and inspiring, and I don't want to take away from that. It's a great example of sheer will, commitment and dedication. If we dig deeper (pun, of course, intended), I think there's another, profound, bittersweet, lesson. Don't throw good money after bad. When you realize the road you are on is not leading where you want, it might be time to change. If you're halfway through a project and you realize there's a better way, there's no shame in pivoting and changing the plan.
That level of determination is unreal! No words man.

Terrible waste of money
@@tedcombs7665Monday morning quarterback. Not every endeavor is a success. It could have gone very differently for him.
But what did he accomplish it turned out to be a complete futile effort

It was an epic battle of his very own, never to be spoken of to no one. The enemy was not the mountain nor was it a physical thing. It lied within him the whole time. The battle was long and treacherous filled with heartbreak and despair.
I feel as though he was victorious...
I hope he was victorious...
Man moved a mountain, in a way.
Even if it was for "nothing", these are the type of people I respect the most.
well you know that every mountain is capable of moving, im a gentleman rhymer and im proving.
you can be what you want to be, let your soul and your body and your mind be free.
theres nothing in the world that can hold us back. write down a lyric put it down on wax, and then rock and take it straight to the top.
with an attitude thats right you cannot be stopped.

Nothing but admiration for this guy and I understand why he completed it. He set out on a mission and he was damn determined that nothing was going to stop him completing it. Even though it had no use eventually. Commands absolute respect. What a legend !!!!
I just hope he carved his name in it really deep. For basically the rest of human existence he will be occasionally remembered, perhaps long after every name we know today has been forgotten

You should read about MANJHI the mountain man..
He dug out the whole mountain to make a road alone by hands to commemorate his wife who died trying to cross it by climbing it..
That's a symbol of love which is 1000000 times better than TAJ MAHAL..

He picked a thing to do and did it until it was done. He truly is a man of doing things.
Things? More like Doer of thing 😂
He did something completly useless out of pure determination. Not sure if that's commendable, kinda wasted his time.
@@Jojojjojojojo Whether or not he wasted time is purely subjective.
The most admirable thing about him is not his stamina or commitment, but his wisdom. For many lesser men have spent as many years digging a hole for themselves.
well said
In India, a guy named Dashrath Manjhi is known as a mountain man now. When his wife died in 1959 due to injury caused by falling from a mountain and due to the same mountain blocking easy access to a nearby hospital in time, he decided to carve a 110 meter-long , and 9.1 meter-wide path and 7.7 meter-deep path through a ridge of hills using only a hammer and a chisel. After 22 years of work, Dashrath shortened travel from 55 km to 15 km.

Absolutely amazing that you’re doing the work to document all of this history.
Dashrath Manjhi also known as Mountain Man, was an Indian laborer from Gehlaur village, near Gaya in the state of Bihar. When his wife died in 1959 due to injury caused by falling from a mountain and due to the same mountain blocking easy access to a nearby hospital in time, he decided to carve a 110 meter-long (360 ft), and 9.1 meter-wide (30 ft) wide path and 7.7 meter-deep (25 ft) path through a ridge of hills using only a hammer and a chisel.[4][5][6] After 22 years of work, Dashrath shortened travel between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya district from 55 km to 15 km.

Thanks for a neat piece of an Indian tunneling story.
Thank God there aren’t Cowboys in India that never would’ve gotten done

You might wanna check out "Manjhi the mountain man" He did something similar like this.
After his pregnant wife died because they couldn't transport her to nearest hospital because of a mountain.
He dedicated his whole life breaking down that mountain so nobody in his village has to go through the same pain.

"Oh they built a road eh? Ah welp. Better keep diggin. Can't stop now sonny"
I think it was about the friends we made along the way.
This dude litterly took the phrase "Finish what you started." To heart.
His daddy told him "If you start something, you finish it" and he took that to heart.
The man just wanted to dig. What a legend.
Old Burro Schmidt knew that someday the internet would come along, and he'd be famous.
It's crazy to walk through the tunnel, at one point it splits off for a short distance and over time it gets shorter and shorter. The fact that the man did it by himself is incredible.
Where is it?
@@ouivalerie it's in southern California I'm not absolutely sure of what part. It's been a long time since I lived there lol
So we love to see it! A man of sheer will and dedication to his desire!
He yearned for a passage through and so he made one, all by himself! Then shortly after when he was done... He left.
He didn't care that it wasn't going to be used, he wasn't shaken by the fact that there was a more efficient path made early on in his journey digging, he wanted to see that tunnel finished and he sure as hell wasn't going to cease digging!
Impressive. Truly impressive!
He serves as a great inspiration to us all, well done William Burro Schmidt!

I can imagine him walking through his very own tunnel and remembering all the hardship he went through over many many years.I can also imagine why he left.He probably has nothing to do after and felt lost so he moved i think.But his resolve and grit got me.Anybody who met him in his lifetime should have felt honoured.This man should be remembered and introduced to children in school.

That is the definition of determination. He had a point to make with the person who said he couldn't do it. True Grit.
Digging through the mountain fills you with determination
The true grit that allows everyone who told him he couldn't do it to control and determine the entire outcome of his life, yes indeed, he certainly showed them.
@@avamasquerade say this say that the tunnel still stands
it's nothing, ever heard of 'Dashrath Manjhi' , that man hammered down whole mountain in 22 years.
Yeah dude was determined to waste 38 years of his fucking life
It's just as much about a man's will and legacy. He too, having made and being a man of mark should be given a place in history in earnest and respect. Seeing a project to it's finish, dedication, the spirit of an idea/ideal, not going around things but meeting a challenge head on.
All of those years in the dark confronting a wall, not giving up until he literally saw the light at the end of his tunnel, coming out stronger and wiser on the other side. An Archetypal Journey of "Man's Search For Meaning" only understood and articulated for the Soul. "The moving hand writes, and in doing so moves on."
Admirable to me, I could have worked beside him, 'broke bread' and even rejoiced for having known him. Thank you for this posthumous honor now.
Sometimes a man just to see things through if only to say, I never gave up.
Commitment ….
