How to Climb Mount Everest

Posted at 11:27 PM on April 01, 2009

It’s high, very high. Perhaps looking up you'd be forgiven for thinking that it can’t be climbed. Maybe you shouldn’t even try? Why bother, what’s the point?

The point is its there, so why not give it your best shot.

Everyone has their own personal Mount Everest. And we’re born to climb things, trees, stairs, your cousins shed roof. Curiosity does that, it makes us want to see what’s over the other side of the mountain, how much further we can reach – if only we give it our best shot.

Maybe you’ll fall off and hurt yourself? Maybe you’ll never reach the top. Who cares?

You should.

Because the people who really, truly succeed, they get up; brush themselves off; and try again. They do this, they practice, and they improve. Even when they reach their goals they look to be better, leaner, smarter and that’s what you have to do.

Ignore mediocrity, ignore your critics and aspire to be the best in the world.

I would just add - How do you climb Mount Everest - one step at a time, or maybe even 3 steps forward and two steps back. Either way, you're going to get there eventually.
