The oarsman of the hope |

Is Roger Montandon a man out of the common run? |
|
Some say that he is insane,
others that he is brilliant. Or is the truth? Objectif Réussir met for you. |
Who doesn't
know Roger Montandon? This single-handed sailor who does not fear to
traverse seas and oceans, as a recluse, on board an oar boat which it
built itself. Before that, Roger Montandon had learned the builder's
trade from boats, then it sailed at sea within the merchant navy. From
there to decide to build boats only provided with oars and to decide to
cross seas and oceans as a recluse, there is a step that many people do
not include/understand. Some say that it is insane, others which it is
quite simply brilliant. |
Roger Montandon forms part of these men who had one day to face the disease and who decided not to let themselves cut down. He understood that in the life, to know true happiness, it is necessary to go to the end of his dreams. |

By entitling this article, "the oarsman of the hope", I would like to transmit the message to all the young people who, in these difficult times take refuge in drug, that they make a very great error. Even if times that we live are difficult, it is always possible, when it is wanted it really, to carry out its dreams. Even most insane
When had the idea just made to you crossings,
as a recluse and with the oar? |
