During the first chapter of the book, Jon Krakauer starts off explaining what had happened with him and his fellow mountain climbers on top of Mount Everest. He talks about all the misfortunes they had encountered until they got to the top of the world. Even though all those sad and unfortunate events made me think about how easy it is to lose your life, what Krakauer said in the next chapter was much more influential. It was a motivational chapter and taught me to pursue my dreams no matter how big or crazy they may seem.
Krakauer was interested in climbing mountains since he was just a child. Two men climbed the mountain when he was only nine years old, and after that day, Krakauer dreamed of climbing Mount Everest no matter what. Eventually he became a mountain climber and fulfilled his dream of climbing Mount Everest. His journey to the top of the world was not easy, but since he had the will power and determination, he fought until the end unlike some of the other climbers who gave up halfway. This showed me that if you really want to fulfill something and if have passion for it, at the end you will finally get what you worked so hard for. This definitely opens many doors for me and motivates me to never stop working.
