茱莉雅‧阿契博得‧何姆斯 (Julia Archibald Holms) 登上派克峰 (Pike』s Peak)
185885

茱莉雅‧何姆斯到達山頂後,必須要說:「我完成了我為自己定下的這項任務幾乎每一個人都想讓我打退堂鼓,但是我相信我一定會成功。」

現在如果你要作這種比較困難的挑戰,已經有特別的服飾與裝備能協助你,讓過程變得比較容易。但是你對自己的信心,比起任何其他裝備都要來得更有幫助。你的信心能讓你面對任何挑戰,而不只是只有在爬山時才用得到而已。你有沒有做過什麼其他人覺得你絕對無法完成的事情呢?
 

Here's what Julia Holmes had to say: "I have accomplished the task which I marked out for myself . . . Nearly everyone tried to discourage me from attempting it, but I believed that I should succeed."

Nowadays there is special clothing and gear to help make it easier to accomplish physical challenges, but the belief that you can make it is better than any kind of gear you can have. That goes for all sorts of challenges, not just climbing mountains. Have you ever done something that others said you wouldn't be able to do?
