Willpower!

Pattaya is an extraordinary city, millions of people from many countries come here for the winter. I met everyone here: Brazilians, Englishmen, Australians and many other nationalities.
Most people are on vacation, spending time drinking alcohol (I used to do that too), and some are doing their favorite thing or learning something new. And today I met two guys on the beach who understand active recreation.
One of them acted as a trainer, and the other as a student - unsuccessfully trying to catch a gust of wind and lift a paraglider into the air.

They tried different ways to catch a gust of wind, and I tried to catch a beautiful shot. Later I had to twist the colors on the photo, because the paraglider was old and faded, and I really wanted to see the colors.

It was only later that I noticed that one of the guys had no legs.

I thought...
He has no legs, but he is not in a wheelchair.
He does not just walk on the sand - he instructs and helps to straighten the paraglider.
He is full of energy and stubbornness despite the lack of limbs.

This is what many people lack - willpower.
This man probably lost his legs while flying on such a wing, but I am sure that he not only trains beginners but also flies himself.
He has some slogan written on his T-shirt, but I could not translate it correctly and did not understand the meaning (maybe you can explain to me what the inscription on his T-shirt means).

The sunset was quickly dying down and I managed to photograph several interesting characters.
Congratulations to everyone on the upcoming holidays!!!
