James Robertson has true endurance. Heart and 'Sole' to keep Body and 'soul' together. Motivation! But the alternative is not good in an otherwise uncaring world. Good luck brother, may the strength be with you.
He does! When I first read this story I figured he is walking a distance of 2.1 miles (3.3 kms) and thought that about an hour is not too bad. Then I realized it was actually 21 miles which would take the average person about 7 hours to complete the journey, which meant he walked on average 3.5 hours to work and 3.5 hours back from work only to spend 8-10 hours at work. It really does take endurance and dedication to do this day in and day out, I can easily see why this went viral.
