I am edging.

One Picture a Day Challenge Day 4.

...

I listened to a seminar (one of the Rovio/Angry Birds guys) that led my thoughts today to self confidence, about all the excuses people do for not trying out new things, and the fear of failure and loosing face and making themselves look ridiculous. Don't know about you others but I do recognize myself.

A short memory came to my mind. Don't know if it's a fit to the theme but I thought I write it down here at least as a note for some further use later.

At the top of the green trail/run (my Vancouver friends will know "The Cut" on Grouse) I paid attention to a man (40+ maybe) who obviously was having his first times on snowboard. Carefully he stood on the back edge of the snowboard and very very slowly started making his way down leaning back on that same edge sliding to the right, to the left and so on. For as long I could hear he was singing to himself: "I am edging... down the mountain... I am edging... down the mountain... I am edging...down the mountain..." And all the way down he made it.
