Once I watched a documentary about climbing Mount Everest.
There was one climber who had Asthma. He was trying to show how Asthmatics could persevere and he was on his third attempt to climb Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen.
He was failing in his attempt.
The leader of the expedition asked him: “Do you want be someone who didn’t climb Everest without oxygen? or do you want to be someone who summitted Everest?”
The climber decided to use the oxygen and summit Everest.
Was that his first goal? No.
Was it a goal that is worthy and most people can’t do? yes
Was it a goal he had the skills and preparation to do? Yes
Was it because of something beyond his control? Yes.
Was it the “easy” way out? Nothing about climbing Mt Everest is easy.
So decide if you want a job, a job in Astronomics, or if you want to try to climb Everest again without oxygen.
