Human interest stories almost always blow. Occasionally you come across one that doesn't. This one easily falls into the latter category, as I practically guarantee it'll hold your attention for the 12 minutes it runs. It tells the tale of a man (Matt Stutzman) who was born without arms, but still finds himself amongst the world-class arching ranks. Maybe archery's not your bag (it sure as hell isn't mine) but this clip is worth watching just to see how legibly Stutzman can write with his right foot. It's an account that makes you feel good for the obstacles Stutzman has overcome, and bad for the fact that you have zero world records, and possibly can't even change a tire, despite the fact that you have two arms.

Whether you're inspired, or humbled (or both) is up to you.
