Meet Ashrita Furman. If he isn’t a real-life inspiration for a Wes Anderson character, well I don’t know who is. He was a kid who could have gone to any Ivy league college and had any job he wanted, but instead, Ashrita chose to dedicate his life to breaking records. Oh, and to being happy. Watch this short film until the end, I guarantee it will leave you with a big smile and generally feeling warm and fuzzy about life.
