If this 13year old American boy succeeds in climbing Mount Everest, he has modest ambitions-pick a small piece of rock from the top as a memento (纪念品) and wear it in a necklace. "It is something for myself to say "this is a rock from the top", "Jordan Romero from California, told reporters in Kathmandu.He left for the mountain on Sunday. If he succeeds, Romero will become the youngest climber to climb the 8,850 meters Everest Summit.Currently a 16yearold Nepali boy, Temba Tsheri Sherpa, holds the record of being the world"s youngest climber of Mount Everest. But Romero, sitting over lunch with his climbing father and stepmother in Kathmandu"s tourist district of Thamel, said he was not after setting climbing records. Romero said Mount Qomolangma, that runs across NepalChina border, was part of his goal to climb the highest mountains on all seven continents. "It is just a goal, " he said confidently."If I don"t succeed I am okay.I will try again." Romero has already climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mount McKinley in Alaska among others. Romero"s father Paul said the boy was ready to take on the climb and understood the risk of climbing the giant mountain. "I know it requires a lot of patience.I will remain patient.I want to stay safe and make right choice, " Romero said of his climb using the northeast ridge (山脊) route on the Chinese side of the mountain. Over 4,000 climbers have reached the top of Mount Qomolangma since it was first climbed by New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepal"s Tenzing Norgay Sherpa in 1953.Romero said he wanted to climb the highest mountains in all 50 states in the US next."It does not need to be after Qomolangma and could be in between." | ||||||||||||||

I remember that when I was in my teens, I used to go against many of the Dos and Don"ts my parents taught me.For example, when I kept playing jazz records on the player, my father would think of such music as making noise and replace them with disks of classical music that I always considered extremely dull. My mom and dad were also very particular about the friends I went out with, always saying that "One rotten (腐烂) apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples". When I insisted on sleeping with my pet dog, they immediately said NO because they thought that I would be bitten by fleas (跳蚤). These are just a few examples of many of the things that I thought my parents were unreasonable about.Today, however, I am a father of a boy of sixteen, and I find that I, too, am pressuring my son with a lot of rules that he seems to find hard to accept.The other day, I noticed that my son"s hair was too long, so I told him to go to the barber"s and get it cut short.Usually, he is fairly obedient, but this time he put_his_foot_down."What"s wrong with my long hair?I don"t think you have the right to order me to cut it short, even if you"re my father!" When I was a boy, if I had spoken in such a way to my father, he would have taught me a good lesson.But now we are living in a world with more freedom.My son"s insistence on wearing his long hair was only an example of the generation gap that existed between us.So I tried to be more understanding and now he still wears his long hair. | ||||||||||||||

On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles During his talk, Jack 1 his wallet, pulled out a hundreddollar bill, and said, "Who wants this?" 2 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 3 . But I jumped up, ran up the 4 to the stage, and grabbed the bill.As I was launching myself in the air, thoughts 5 through my mind-was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800 people?Would they 6 security guards and take me from the stage? 7 my desire for bold action was louder than any 8 voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, "That"s it!We can"t wait for the 9 to come to us.We must take action to 10 what we want!" After his talk, I managed to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his 11 email address.Over the next months, I sent him emails 12 my vision and dreams with him.He kindly emailed back lots of encouragement.But my life got 13 with other things.I stopped emailing Jack. A year later, my dreams had worn away.I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant 14 that would show me the way. I emailed him, and then again-but got no 15 . As I sat down at my computer to check my emails, I 16 woke up.What was I doing?I was waiting!Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 17 that hundreddollar bill, while they sat 18 to their chairs. Usually we all have a "Jack" for whom we wait-whether it"s a person, a place or a thing.We 19 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 20 way.So we don"t try.We give up. But as Wayne Gretzky said: "You"ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don"t take!" So I stopped waiting and started my writing career. Now what are you waiting for? | ||||||||||||||
