There is a story of mountain climbing.3 friends are going for a mountain climbing trip. After a few hours walking & climbing, a guy says that "it's so tiring. You guys carry on. I'll turn back to the camp and wait for you guys." This guy turn back and walk down to the camp and the other two guys continue their journey.
After a few hours, one guy says "it's so beautiful here. I think we should camp here." Then, this guy starts unpack his stuffs and start putting up the camp. The other guy continues his journey.
After a few hours climbing, the last guy is at the summit of the mountain.
From this story, it tells us something about attitude:
1. The first guy is a guy easily give up on what they've planned. This type of attitude will never achieve what they want.
2. The second guy is a guy who is easily satisfy with what they currently have. This type of attitude will have something but he might not have what they initially planned for.
3. The third guy is a guy who is having the best attitude and they will continue to achieve what they planned.
So, after reading the above story, I think you should be able to tell what kind of attitude you have.
My advice:
1. For the first kind of people, you should review your ability and move forward by one small step each time. Don't try to aim for big step when you are not ready. In a nut shell, you should have the habit of "sharpen your saw" (i.e., enhancing your ability).
2. For the second kind of people, you should have more exposure to anything. For example, meeting new friends and exchanging experience and knowledge with them. You should remember that, standing at any place for a long time is not a good sign. We should move forward to other places and trying out new things.
3. For the third kind of people, you should not be so proud on what you have achieved. Since you have the ability to get up there, you should help those people who needs a hand to get up there. Don't worry that there is not enough space at the top. Because there is another summit of mountain.. waiting for you..

Let me share my experience on jungle tracking and mountain climbing:
- In Aug-2004, I climbed mountain Kinabalu and it is my first time of enjoying the climb. The biggest enjoyment is that my team member encourage me to try my best to climb to the top. Thanks for Mr Wong!
- In Oct-2007, I went for a jungle tracking at night time. It was very tough and I really can't move forward. Thanks to Mr Ng who has 9 years experience in jungle tracking. He gave me a hand and lead my out of the jungle.
Well, if you are there at the top, I guess, you won't loose much to give other people a helping hand.
Cheers!! My dear friends!
I been climbed mount kinabalu two times, it was in year 2004 & 2006.
You cant imagine how wonderful view at the peak.
