I always say to myself, I'm not gonna die today. Maybe tomorrow, but not today.------There was this friend of mine, very experienced mountaineer, saying, "Klara, it's 50% chance we make it, and 50% chance we die." And hearing that as a woman and as a mother of two children, I'm thinking, "What the hell am I doing here." But then Nims said, "Don't listen to the others. You need to take chances, and you need to take the risk sometimes in order to make things happen for yourself." That was the moment when I realized, "Damn it. I will blame myself for the rest of my life if I don't give it one more try."------In such a concentrated situation, climbing and meditation is the same. When the pain is really forcing you to go down, and you keep going up. You are really on the edge of possibilities, the edge of life and death.------In life, you have to keep doing what you believe. You have to ask yourself, do you really want this from your heart. Is this for the self-glory? Or is this for something bigger? Sometimes, the idea that you come up with may seem impossible to the rest of the world, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to you. And if you can inspire on or two people in a good way, then you can inspire the world.。
