Self-reflection
From the sharing session, I learned the knowledge about the Everest elevation is 8,849m, the proper way to get ready before we start to hike. We have to rest well before we begin the journey, it is very important for us to save our energy to secure our safety on the next day. I also learned how to protect and how to act when facing an emergency situation during the activity. I felt the motivation, inspiration, and the passion from him, I thought the hiking progress would not be that difficult before, but now I think I am wrong. It is not only we have to have a strong physical body and healthy condition, but the more important is the mental, we would give up if our mental is not strong enough, this sharing section has a good sharing knowledge as the Everest hiking sounds a impossible mission but Encik Azim Afif Ishak did it successfully.
