Philippe Petit certainly has no fear of heights. This is the French man who came into the spotlight for virtually dancing his way across a wire between the twin towers in New York on one August morning in 1974. Petit's feat has more recently become the subject of the film "man on wire" and has refreshed our minds (those who can remember back to then) as to how amazing this actually was.

Petit had a history of taking what appeared to the observer a casual stroll along high wires strung between famous buildings or structures - the Notre Dame Cheap Larry Fitzgerald Jersey , Louisiana Superdome, The Eiffel Tower and The Sydney Harbor Bridge to name a few. What looks to be casual took a great deal of planning. His walk at the World Trade Centre took six years to plan. Although clearly not afraid of heights, he had to be aware of every aspect which might have an effect upon his walk - primarily how the buildings moved in the wind. The logistics of how to get a strong enough wire across that famous gap and to gain access without getting caught were also major issues to be overcome.

Petit displays all of the attributes of a man on a mission. He clearly has a burning desire to succeed and does not let any obstacles get in his way. He also likes to achieve things which others would think impossible. He loves the challenge. And this is a major key to being successful - if you love what you do, you will keep doing it and therefore achieve success. If you do not love what you do it becomes very easy to give up.

Petit's background as a tight-rope walker Cheap Chandler Jones Jersey , unicyclist, magician and pantomime artist, paved the way to choosing the type of challenges he faced. You can even see how his abilities as a magician were applied in how he managed to gain access to the towers time and again during his six years of preparation. He chose a challenge which suited his strengths. Once out on that wire, he wasn't satisfied with one crossing between buildings Cheap David Johnson Jersey , he made EIGHT crossings, and only stopped when he was literally made to do so. He had a ball out there!

But to those who suffer with a fear of heights it was a terrifying spectacle to watch. The mere thought of it has the ability to completely turn your stomach (if you are afraid of heights, that is). Even for those who are generally comfortable about more run of the mill circumstances which involve heights, this spectacle has the ability to make one?s heart jump and leap into your mouth Cheap Josh Rosen Jersey , to say the very least. Here we see how naturally empathetic we are. Even babies show a natural tendency to empathy, displaying distress upon hearing the sound of another baby crying. We learn emotional responses to individual circumstances by picking up such vibes, as well as by mimicking and copying.

On can see how easy it is to "pick up" a fear of heights simply by being aware of another's fear. Clearly Petit was not exposed to such fear. He has a logical awareness of potential danger and finds away to make his chance of success as high as possible.
