神山的体验 - 成功的精髓 - 大自然的力量
最近翻看几年前的一些旅游照片，最难忘的还是我人生中第一座最高峰~京那巴鲁山,4095.2 米，是东南亚最高的山峰之一，本土人称她为神山。难忘的不是征服了神山，而是在攀登的过程得到的感受。
Due to my lack of training, it took me a very long hike to reach the resting hut on the first day, so exhausted. I quickly ate my dinner and catch up for a rest immediately to regenerate the energy for the peak mission "tomorrow". At 2am, we started the peak mission, the climate was cold and it was dark outside, my sensitive nose was freezing, so difficult to breath. After about 15 minutes walk, my body started to heat up and get used to the temperature, the higher we go the thinner the air, extra strength require for every single step, and my pace getting slower and slower. A few people by passed me. Can't remember how long it had been, suddeny i realised that those people in front of me were gone, even the Guide, i looked at my back, Oh God! No one behind me as well! Remember that the guide mentioned one of them will be in front and the other one will follow the last person, at first i thought of waiting for those member who are left behind, however it was so cold and i almost freezing if standed still without moving, i had no choice but to continue walking up all by myself.
Moved forward in the dark and endured the cold breeze alone, the only thing that accompanies me was the guiding robe. The oxygen getting thinner, each step was so struggle, i can't breathed well and my heart beaten very fast, no more energy to continue, no more hope of catching up those in front and those at the back was yet to be here, i felted like wanted to give up. At that moment, I found a big rock as a supporter and lay on it. Here come the unforgivable moment! The sky was full of stars! It was so beautiful! Review back the last time that i enjoying a sky full of stars was during my childhood time where i lived at the outskirt village. When the family income getting better in later stage, we moved to the city area, there the time thatme that the nature was far away and the city light has replaced the star. At my back was the cold stone, on top of me was the blanket of star, i felt that i was one part of the nature, enjoying the bath of the nature energy, my energy level recovered, my brain was cleared, my goal of viewing the sunrise at the peak had reset to "reach the peak and step on the highest point", due to the relieve tension on rushing for the sunrise has gone, i felt more relax, i slowly standed back up and continued my journey. I knew that the mother earth and the energy of the universe was accompanied me along the way.
I kept walking and finally i met some others hiker, some of the hiker by passed me from behind, sometimes i by passed some of them, when i felt tired, i just lay down to enjoy the starry sky, take some rest and continue. Time passed, the dawn started to grow, even though i was not at the peak, it was still a memorable moment that enjoying the dawn above 3000 meters. The sky finally brighten and i reached the 8m, thought the small peak infront was the highest point for Mount Kinabalu, while i am still enjoying that happy moment, i suddenly spotted two familiar figures, two of my team members were few steps in front. I never thought that i able to catch up with some of them, they told me that the other peak farer above is the highest peak. It seems not so far, guess we can reach there about half an hour, so envy to those people at the peak, three of us confidently moving toward it.
走着走着，终于看到其他的登山者了，不时被一些后来的登山者超越，有时自己也超越前方的登山者，累了就躺下来看看星星，休息一会再继续。走走停停，停停走走，不知过了多久，曙光出来了，虽然不在山顶，在3千多米的山坡上看第一道曙光也不错。天亮了，到达那影印在一零吉上的山峰前，以为自己到了山顶，很是高兴，突然有两个熟悉的身影在前面，是我的两个队友，没想到我能追上他们，太好了。与他们会合后，被告知远方的另一座山才是山顶。咋看之下，看来不太远，半个钟就能到达吧！看着山顶山小小粒的人很是羡慕，我们三人信心满满的往山顶的方向去。
The rock surrounding getting lesser and leser, the wind getting stronger and stronger, and it was colder and colder, we cannot walk slowly as we will freeze if moving too slow, we had to speed up to reach any nearby rock for shelter as a cover for the strong wind while taking rest and wait for the a weaker wind to run to the next rock for another chance to move up, this had delayed our journey, the highest peak seem to be close and yet it was far. Fighting with the unfriendly cold wind, hiding and chasing within the rocking path, we finally reached the top after one and half hour. The others team members who were ahead of us earlier were waited for us about two hours there, they were almost freezing. They were so exciting when they saw us there, the atmosphere suddenly become warmer with our happy reunion.
We used to keep moving forward, and hoping that we reach the destination the soonest possible and again set for another goal and continue moving forward, sometimes when we too focus on the goal and kept chasing and rushing, we tend to neglect the other great thing surrounding us, in returned we exhausted ourselves. We had to learn to adjust the pace while chasing the dream, spend some times to ourselves and communicate to the one dept inside us, let our body, our spirit and our soul move together with us, this will give a different experience when we reach the destination. Great effort, strive and strong determination are the main ingredients of successful, when envy on others people's successful, start asking ourselves how much effort we put in, because those successful is not coming from nowhere, it only achieved after some effort, instead of envy on other people, we should learn to admire, and set our own goal, despite of a big one or a small one, learned to enjoy the difficulties and the happiness throughout the process, each moment can be a small success and great fulfillment.

Recently, reviewing some old travel photos, the most memorable one is still the trip to my first highest peak in Malaysia - Mount Kinabalu, 4095.2 meters above the sea level, it is one of the highest mountain in Southeast Asia. It was not regarding the conquered of the mountain, but it was the process of climbing that gave me an unforgiveable memory. Thanks to one of my colleague, i had the opportunity to meet this sacred mountain, we departed from Kuala Lumpur excitingly, aimed to explore the mystery of the mountain.
Due to my lack of training, it took me a very long hike to reach the resting hut on the first day, so exhausted. I quickly ate my dinner and catch up for a rest immediately to regenerate the energy for the peak mission "tomorrow". At 2am, we started the peak mission, the climate was cold and it was dark outside, my sensitive nose was freezing, so difficult to breath.

一个人被刺骨的寒风袭击着，在一遍漆黑中缓慢的向上移动着，伴着我的只有手上的代路绳子。氧气越来越薄，每走一步都非常吃力，呼吸困难，心跳加速，实在没有力气再往上走了，无望能追上前方的同伴，可后面的却迟迟没到，放弃的念头开始浮上脑海中。我找了一个大石躺下来休息一会，难忘的一幕出现了。漆黑的天密密麻麻的布满了星星！太美了！回想我之前最后一次看到满天星的时候应该是在乡下家里还没水电供应的那一段童年时光吧，后来家境好点，搬到城市后，开始远离大自然，城市的灯光代替了星星。那一刻，躺在凉凉的大石上，以满天星为被子，感觉自己回到了童年的时光，于大自然融为一体，享受着它的沐浴，突然身体恢复能量，脑袋一清，把我要到山顶看日出的目标改成到达神山的最高峰，由于赶时间的心情放下了，觉得轻松多了，慢慢站起来继续我的旅程，伟大的大地之母和宇宙的力量陪伴着我。

The rock surrounding getting lesser and leser, the wind getting stronger and stronger, and it was colder and colder, we cannot walk slowly as we will freeze if moving too slow, we had to speed up to reach any nearby rock for shelter as a cover for the strong wind while taking rest and wait for the a weaker wind to run to the next rock for another chance to move up, this had delayed our journey, the highest peak seem to be close and yet it was far. Fighting with the unfriendly cold wind, hiding and chasing within the rocking path, we finally reached the top after one and half hour.

周围的石块少了风变得很大很冷，不能慢慢走会冻僵，只能快步的到上一个最近的石块旁避风喘气，等风小了再跑到下一个石块旁等时机，这拖慢了我们的脚步，眼前的山顶是多么的近也多么的远啊！与无情的寒风在石壁上追追躲躲，慢慢的攀爬了一个多小时终于我们到达了山顶。另外几个走得特别快的队友已在那等了我们两个小时，冷得发抖，看到我们，兴奋得不得了，周围的气氛一下暖和了。
I stood on the ground of 4092.5 meters above the sea, looked at the 8m area where i thought that i could reach there by half an hour, what a childish thinking. Although I did not achieve my initial goal of enjoying the sunrise at the highest peak , however, the journey that lead me to the peak gave me a more valuable experience.
站在4092.5米的高峰上，看着自己一个多小时前站着的地段，以为只须半个钟就能到达这里的自己实在太羞了。虽然我没达到最初的目标-站在那最高的峰看日出，而只攀上了神山的最高峰，但在达成这简单的小目标的过程中却让我得到了更宝贵的体验。

我们很多时候只顾着冲驰，不停的向前跑，想赶快到达目的地，再往另一个目标前进，往往忽略了身边美好的人与事物，最后把自己搞得灰头灰脸筋疲力尽。学会在前进时放慢脚步，不时的自我沟通，让身，心，灵也一起前进，这样到达目的地时更能体会不一样的成就感。每个成功的背后都需要努力的付出与奋斗和坚持不移的毅力，在羡慕他人的成就时，先问问自己能付出多大的努力吧，因为那都是经过一翻努力与奋斗才得到的，于其羡慕他人不如学会欣赏与敬佩吧。我们也要为自己的目标前进，无论目标大小只要学会享受那过程中的甜酸苦辣，每一刻就是一个小成就。
Lately there was an argument of the recognition of one of the climber who completed her Mt Everest hike with most of the help of helicopter. Remember that someone asked "why need to put ourselves into all this hassle of climbing, with some money, one can reach the top of the mountain easily"
Well, climb up a mountain is not just to enjoy the moment of stepping the top, it was the journey of the climb that made up that blessing moment when you reach the top.
最近有个人雇用直升机登上了Everest的顶峰，被诤义到底该不该诚认她登上珠峰。
记得有人问过 “为何要那么辛苦，自个儿爬，花点钱，不用那么辛苦也能上到上顶的”。
登山并不是只为了踏足顶端的那一刹那，而是感受自个儿那几千几万步后的那一刻顶端的心情。
