We have certain goals that we set at the beginning of the year and give ourselves 12 months to accomplish.  Reaching these goals not only makes us proud and happy, but it also encourages us to keep setting new goals that keep us going.  This is the case in this story, in which a man want's to build his own boat, then sail across the Atlantic to go meet Elon Musk.

According to ladbible, Krystian Ryt, a 26 year old Pole living in Manchester, has transformed his studio flat into a shipyard, and when he's not working as a machine operator, he spends his evenings building boats. As of yet, the longest stint the 26-year-old has spent on one of his boats is five hours on the canals in Manchester; however, he hopes to make a two-month trip across the Atlantic and meet billionaire Musk at his SpaceX Star base in Texas before the year is up.

Krystian- who has no engineering qualifications - is regularly told his dream is'crazy', but it's not sailing solo across the Atlantic on a homemade boat that he's afraid of.

"I really am scared about a simple life," he told LADbible. "That scares me more.

"Going to work, then back to home. Same day every day - that scares me."

For Krystian, Musk is an inspiration because he is 'pushing humanity forward'.

 "I basically want to be the same kind of person," he explained. "To push myself forward more than the average person."
