So much Enthusiasm

Live your life with passion. Edmund Hillary, the first to climb mount Everest with Tenzing Norgay, had faced failure thrice earlier. Later at party hosted in his honour in New Zealand, he looked at the portrait of Mount Everest and remarked” “Mt Everest has a problem… it cannot grow more than 29,000 feet, but I can grow i my ability to climb farther than that.
