At the father’s ranch of a Mexican friend of mine near the lake Chapala, the biggest in the country. My friend Jorge has an incredible story to tell: a couple of years ago he had a serious kite-accident out on the lake in front of his fathers eyes. he broke 7 vertebrae and doctors declared him as stuck to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Even his father, one of the top surgeons in the country and president of the Red Cross, could not help. You won’t believe me, if I told you that today Jorge is back in the water, flying high and enjoying life…I even went paragliding with him! He recovered without any drugs, it took him more than 3 years but Jorge is the living example of what power we have in our minds the most beautiful proof of willpower and determination of a human being!!!
