If you wish strongly, have courage and endurance, then you can get to the summit of your dream,
When I planned to ski Everest, the first thing I faced was, 'How can I return alive?' All the preparation and training was based on this question. But the more I prepared, I knew the chance of survival was very slim. Nobody in the world had done this before, so I told myself that I must face death. Otherwise, I am not eligible.
It's important to set your own goals and work hard to achieve them.
