Life is too Short to be Ordinary

Life’s too short to be Ordinary

We have often heard the phrases “Never give up” “You can do it”, but ladies and gentlemen, how often do we actually take it to heart.
The moment we hear these phrases, we find ourselves highly motivated, believing we can even reach out for the stars.

Such a highly motivated man is Indian mountain climber Ram Chandran, who has scaled the Mount Everest thrice.
One of the deadliest challenges for a mountain climber is, fighting frost bite. An ordinary person, who catches frost bite during the climb, has 2 options – One to turn back and descend downwards. Two- Chip off the frozen body part and continue the expedition. Ram Chandran on two occasions had to chip of his fingers in order to scale the summits of Mt. Everest. He now has 7 fingers.
The second challenge for a mountaineer while scaling great heights, is that he has to encounter protruding rocks that lie on his path. He has 2 options – go around it , which is easier but very likely to get lost. Or go over it, which takes tremendous amount of his much needed energy.
With only 7 fingers, and a huge heart filled with determination, he plans another impossible feat.

We are ordinary people, but what makes us special, is the fact , when we realize that “OUR LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE ORDINARY” Was Ram Chandran Crazy ??? Out of his mind??? U CHOOSE

Mountaineering is a sport as well as an art that teaches us so many lessons in life about persistence, perseverance and doing the extraordinary.
