In an interview to Times of India Vamini Sethi who attempted the climb Mount Everest too caught in the jam and decided to return after making it to within 500m of the peak said “ For me , my life matterred most than the summit; many don’t understand that. And she said successful summit involves you coming back in one piece, safe and sound. At the airport and official who saw my bags and Everest T shirt asked me if I made it to the top. I told him I couldn't. He showed me two names on a sheet. He said ‘Both their bodies are going on the same flight as you. They have made it to the top. You made it here’ . That send shivers down my spine, but it also reassured me that I made the right call’’.
Every one has their own Mount Everest to in their life to climb.
Think whether is it really essential to make it to to the top of every Mount Everest you are climbing in life ? Are you prepared well?
Give a thought is it always necessary to make it to the top .
