Mud, Sweat, and Tears: The Autobiography

Mud, Sweat, and Tears: The Autobiography by Bear Grylls

From a young age, Bear Grylls had a adventurous spirit. He was willing to persist in activities, even to the extent of foolishness. He decided he wanted to be a British Spy. After receiving a rejection letter, he sought to contact the sender. After learning it was a fictitious name, he became more persistent until he finally had an audience with somebody. He didn't get the job, but was inspired to try to join an elite British military force. Here he had to persist against gruelling odds. On one mission, his parachute malfunctioned. He ended up landing on the ground without a chute - and somehow survived. Alas, his injured state did not allow him to continue the training.

He did not give up on adventure. Instead, he decided to lead an expedition to Everest. Here he also persisted in trying to get funding. He made multiple attempts to reach richard Branson, even ending up in the house. He didn't get sponsored by him, but he did notice an "Everest" firm that he was willing to sponsor his crew. They later reached the summit via a mixture of determination and experience in the best practices of mountaineering.

The denomont touches briefly on his experience as a television personality. His show has become quite popular throughout the world. Luckily for him, he is less well known at home and can continue to live a somewhat normal life.
