    Remeber: whenever someone tells you to strive for success and live each day like it’s your last, every dead body on Everest was once a highly motivated person; so maybe just chill a bit.

      sadly a lot of them are just very wealthy tourists and pay a lot of money to be babied up a very difficult mountain with a very small peak, and some just REFUSE to understand that “death zone” isn’t a tongue-in-cheek, cutesy kind of name, it lacks the oxygen you need to be alive. Still, someone’s bored generational wealth having kid is gonna walk up there without a tank and see what happens.
