Climbing Mount Everest

Climbing Mount Everest

Today as I heard David Lim spoke about his Mount Everest Adventure, I was wowed by the slides show how dangerous a mountain climb can be.
A narrow ladder across a deep crevice.
Just one slip and you won't even hear the echo from the fall. It's like falling into the sky upside down.

In business you lose your shirt.
But in mountain climbing you could lose your limbs or lives.

David talks about passion. If we have passion for our work, even the long hours becomes a delight, a pleasure instead of pressure.

If we don't get excited waking up in the morning and look forward to the events of the day, it's time to make a change. To look into your passion. To turn your passion into a profit.

After years of preparation, he finally achieved his dream. The achievement mean the end of that dream. Then he turned to his next Everest which was to run his own training business. Despite losing his bodily function, he was able to summon all his inner resources to reach his next 'Everest'. Today, he is living his dream and inspiring others to live their dreams too.

David ended his 45 minutes talk by asking the audience:
"What kind of morning are you waking up to ?"

He ended by saying: "The most successful people aren't those who have 100% of everything but uses 100% of everything they've."

Well said.
It's not what you have. It's what you use.
The reason for failure is not the lack of knowledge, it's the lack of action.

People pay lots of money to attend a seminar like these.
They listen. They get inspired. They leave the room.
One month later, life goes on....life before.
What has changed?
Nothing...for 99% of the audience.
