Life without limits -  "Che" Guevara

No Limits

"Che" Guevara (May 14, 1928 - October 9, 1967) was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, politician, author, military theorist, physician, and guerrilla leader.

Some view Che Guevara as a hero, for example Nelson Mandela referred to him as "an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom" while Jean-Paul Sartre described him as "not only an intellectual but also the most complete human being of our age."

He was diagnosed with asthma at an early age. He had the condition for the rest of his life.

Even forty years after his death, Che's life and work remain controversial. His eventful life proves that people with asthma can always live their "life without limits", and in his particular case asthma was no barrier to being a revolutionary!
