Probability code 881. You can change the world

By this time, my colleagues had already watched my broadcast, and one of them said that 2018 km is too much, and I will not succeed. This made me angry, as I am not one of those people who uses the word lightly. Therefore, we made a bet with Andrey Balitsky: if I win, he pays for dinner at any restaurant of my choice, if not, I will be the one who pays.

Of course, I wanted to win and prove that it is possible. I did it thanks to a systematic approach and friends’ support. In order to accomplish it, I drove 10 km every day, having upgraded it to 100 km with time. I used the Strava app to measure the distance, and I had a schedule for 4 months fixing the minimum daily distance.

When I achieved the goal and posted the results on Facebook, my colleagues prepared a present for me – my photo with a bicycle in a beautiful frame and with a creative wording. It was unexpected and, therefore, even more pleasant. I won a bet and we had dinner with Andrey Balitsky at the Guramma restaurant, as their beautiful observation deck was near the place my challenge started.

The secret of success is to declare your goal to a large audience, make a bet, make a plan and add friends’ support.
