Throughout a lifetime, each and every individual experiences bumps in his or her road, which is apart of life. Some pebbles, some boulders, but for others it may seem as if Mount Everest is standing in their way. Certain people may even feel as if they're entering an abyss, climbing down rather than up, but let's not get sidetracked. All human beings have failed in one way or another, which is a part of life, and this has helped shape them into who they are in the world.
I was six years old when my parents got divorced. Of course, you're probably telling yourself, "she doesn't remember anything," but here's the catch: I do. I remember pulling into the driveway of my home on that warm summer day, not suspecting anything at all. My mother held my hand and slowly, but surely, the words rolled off her lips. “Your father and I are getting divorced.” Being an only child, my wrinkly Chinese Shar-Pei and two cats kept me company, so I can only imagine how my parents felt tearing apart our little family. Little did they know, ten years later, I have

None of them would bother to turn on their GPS, rather just turn to me. It even became the joke throughout my softball team that I knew my way around so much. This is solely because I did more than just stay in the little bubble they call a town, I've covered more miles in my childhood than they will by age thirty.
Failure can turn out to be positive in the long run, because if my parents never got divorced and I was trapped in that little bubble, I'm sure I would still be asking Siri how to get to my friend’s house. Although the love between my parents failed, I was assured every day that their love for me was endless and from the bottom of their heart. By seeing the good in both of my parents, my potentially sad story did a 180. At least I know I won't be getting lost anytime
If Mount Everest were an empire, its motto would undoubtedly be “I shall not be conquered”. However formidable, this giant which stands over 8000 meters above sea level into the sky, did not seem to intimidate the owners of the commercial guide companies, Adventure Consultants and Mountain Madness. In fact, these two firms, which earned considerable profit guiding amateurs up the mountain’s notorious heights, felt comfortable enough to attempt the ascent against the comfort of several participants. Both
We can learn from our mistakes and make better people out of ourselves. Mistakes aren’t always bad we can’t change them so we accept them, I use to get so frustrated doing math homework but now I am in advanced math and I’m learning as I go. Practice makes perfect and nothing can be completely perfect without some failure. “ You are Electric Boogaloo”, really helped me open my eyes to see that everything that happens around me really does teach me. Without failure, no one would be who they are now and we all would be the same unlike now we all are different with different
When we see ourselves going through difficult times, we often fall into a depressed state were we don't know what to do anymore. Where we are lost in thought day in and day out. J.K. Rowling one of the biggest and most successful authors even went through this herself in many ways. Looking into the depths of her influence through the years we see what big lessons her triumph has taught her. We see in her writing and just the way she genuinely speaks about such difficulties, and we see how it represents her in many ways. Not only is it depression we go through sometimes, but that feeling of failure adds to it even more. Failure can mean many different things to many different people, it may mean giving up or another reason as to why we should
May, 1996. Everest. People died, others were abandoned, and those who lived had to suffer with haunting memories of the mountain. It was nothing short of a catastrophe. It was caused by a multitude of things, but mostly incompetence, inadequate preparation, unenforced guidelines, and unfavorable circumstances. Everything becomes a deciding factor when death is involved, and especially during this perilous expedition.
The mere thought of failing prevents an individual from achieving great things in life and this also makes an individual miss out on wonderful opportunities.
What happened on Everest in 1996? This case study is a perfect example of everything going wrong at precisely the right time. It wasn’t just bad luck, poor planning, inexperienced climbers, bad weather, or improper mindset, it was all of these things combined and more, at the most crucial of times that caused these people to die. The case study explains in great detail how these two groups of very driven people did not become a team or several teams and work together to reach their common goal. They each remained individuals working next to each other, but failing to see the value in teamwork. The two groups were led by some of the most experienced high altitude climbers in the world, but they did not communicate and pay attention to the signals that were very evident when viewed in hindsight, five people lost their
The experience of your team can mean the difference between life and death on the mountain if a team can identify problems before they arise they can be addressed before they raise an immediate issue while a team that has never been up the mountain may not know what to look for and situations will arise where the stress will get to you and your team and mistakes will be made. Mistakes on everest means fatal injury.
Failure is something most people have experienced. We are all human beings. Being human, we are exposed to experiencing failure. Failure is able to make a person stronger than they had been.
Junko Tabei, first lady to scale Mount Everest, has kicked the bucket at 77 years old.
Once a person borns into this life, he or she need to understand "life is an obstacle." The important part it how can that person turns that obstacle into an opportunity. For me, every obstacle can be handled by working hard or by trying to adapt the situation, come up with a chance to do something new.
Weathers knew that the Everest tragedy would leave a permanent mark on his life but continues to stay optimistic. He even began a second career as an inspirational public speaker and has become somewhat of a celebrity. Weathers still dreams about Everest sometimes, but surprisingly they're not nightmares. He says they were the enjoyable moments before the storm had occurred and that they were never painful or fearful. "I never dream about Everest in a bad way," he says. "I loved being there." (Rottenberg 2015). He hasn't regretted a single thing he's done and says that he got so much more out of it than he gave up.
Turning our obstacles into a life lesson can prevent the failure and the miserableness in
Mount Everest is the biggest mountain in the world, and because of that attracts many climbers to try and climb all 29,029 feet of it, but think about all the trash they leave behind while climbing. In 2013 4,000 people have reached Everest’s summit, with many more attempting to. Mount Everest has a natural beauty, one that should be preserved, and people climbing the mountain and leaving their garbage on it is ruining it. Climbers have a negative impact on Mount Everest, and while journeying to the top, they are slowly destroying the mountain.
Mt. Everest is Earth’s tallest mountain. Mt.everest is located in Asia. The mountain is 29,029 ft tall, and is in the himalayas mountain range.

Edmund Hillary, and Tenzing Norgay were the first people to reach the summit of Mt.Everest.
The fundamental foundations of our personality and the lifestyle we live is grounded in our failures of the past, present, and future. We base our decisions in the experiences of the past and those choices lead to our future. The lessons we learn in our failure are what make us grow as people and become better versions of ourselves. I personally have tasted the bitterness of failure many times, it is only after you are out of the pain or embarrassment you can realize that what you went though was not a completely awful ordeal. Through my many graceful highlights I have learned to not make the same mistakes and I have become smarter. There is no such thing as the perfect human being, we are born imperfect and made to make mistakes. It is how we learn to overcome and grow out of hardships. The most deadly failure is the one that does not allow us to experience defeat, it is the failure to take action. If we are too afraid to put ourselves out there and experience new things or be vulnerable we will never experience the full extent of life or what it means to be alive, human even. When we hesitate because we are afraid of rejection, humiliation, pain, or the fear of failure, we are cutting ourselves short of our true potential. We learn from a young age that failure equals shame and discomfort through life experiences but we rarely remember that it is the experience of that failure that allows us to mature.
