The Best Job In The World
Three years ago, he won 'the best job in the world' - a £70,000 six-month stint as 'caretaker' of Hamilton Island on the famous Great Barrier Reef.
Ben Southall, now 37, from Petersfield, Hampshire, beat nearly 35,000 applicants for the dream position.
But was life on the doorstep of the Australian surf truly idyllic or was it not always plain sailing?
'At the time I saw the advert, I thought it would be like living on a desert island like Tom Hanks in Castaway,' the former charity fundraiser told the BBC.
'It became bigger the further it went on. It was after I won when I did a ten-minute slot on the Oprah Winfrey show which was broadcast in 140 countries that I thought, "This is pretty big now", he added.
when I see this video , I’m feel want to know about the winner and research about him and want know how he won the competition , Picked from a pool of 34,000 applicants from across the world, 34-year-old Southall was one of 16 finalists for the $150,000 that kind of interesting right ?
"Nothing is impossible" was crossed in my mind when I read the article about the winner, he can defeat all the competitor in the big competition like everything is possible if we work hard and really want something.
My short goal is i want to finish my study in diploma in Electronic Engineering and continue my further study in Bachelor Automotive cause i m very obsess and stunned making some modification part in engine.That what i think to change a course after this.I planning to take a rest for 6 months by part time job while doing MUET to further study in 2016.
