It all started as a daunting mission by Coach Lei Want
Jun 01, 2021It’s that time of the year once more… May always brings back the memory of Mount Everest.
This year is the 11th anniversary of my Everest summit.
Inspired by the film "Touching the Void," I had a daydream about climbing Mount Everest in 2004. And, growing up in Beijing as an unathletic book nerd, I never saw myself scaling this mountain one day.
Almost everyone on my team felt I was the least likely to succeed when I finally started hiking towards Everest Base Camp six years later. I was the group's smallest, weakest, and slowest member. Regardless, I was the only woman on my team who made it to the top. Just 16 people out of a total of 25 made it to the top.
Everest was, without a doubt, an impossibility when it was first attempted.
Since returning from Everest, I've been thinking about the most important lessons I learned there.
In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing the most important lessons I learned on Everest, as well as how they helped me excel today. I hope they motivate and encourage you to achieve success in your own life.
…Stay tuned!
