I think a challenge that would stretch me is to climb a mountain, especially a high mountain such as Mt. Fuji in Japan.
Though I have never climbed mountains, it is said that you should climb it at least once in your life. I think that’s because you have to put up with both physical and mental toughness before you command a fine view. You will want to give up climbing on the way to summit. But once you reach the top of the mountain, you will get a sense of achievement and confidence in yourself.
I think it is necessary to beat myself when you try something hard, that is to say challenges. Climbing mountains will give you an experience in which you can beat yourself.
Therefore I think a challenge that would stretch me is to climb a mountain.
I think climbing mountain needs physical and mental toughness, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm poor at beating myself, so if there's an opportunity I'll climb a mountain.
Making use of the opportunities is important. I hope you will succeed in it.
DeleteWhen you can believe that after this tough time you would get some reward of it, you can make an effort.
ReplyDeleteyeah I think climbing mountains is good example.
Thinking of the reward is a great way to keep motivated.
DeleteI feel in the same way. By beating myself, we can certainly grow up, so we should challenge any number of time.
ReplyDeleteChallenges are the medicines that let us grow.
DeleteClimbing a mountain is good for both mental and physical, that's true! With such experience, you can get over anything in your life.
ReplyDeleteI think so, too. I want to climb mountain as soon as possible.
DeleteI agree with your opinion that once you reach the top of the mountain, you will get a sense of achievement and confidence in yourself.
ReplyDeleteI climbed Mt. Myoko when I was 16. That experience was tough but good for me.
I believe you had a great experience.
DeleteI think it is so challenging but exciting. You will feel achievement when reaching the top. I want do it someday!
ReplyDeleteLet's climb mountains together!
DeleteThat's a tough challenge, but at the same time it's exciting, because everything it involves, including physical and mental overcoming!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good challenge. I was impressed by your opinion. I want to beat myself to grow up.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that your were impressed by my post.
DeleteClimbing a mountain is tough, but it is also exciting! I have climbed Mt.Takao before. I was tired, but the view from the top was beautiful! I enjoyed it very much!
ReplyDeleteI have never climb mountains. So I want to do it as soon as possible.
DeleteAgreed. This challenge will stretch you, but facing and overcoming it will no doubt be enriching.
ReplyDeleteI have climbed Mt Asama and Mt Miyonora in Japan. Unfortunately I couldn't see the view from the top of Miyanoradake because of fog, but I could enjoy views of ancient cedars on the way up. I am glad I accepted the challenge of climbing these mountains.

I was surprised to know that you have climbed mountains in Japan twice. I want to climb not only mountains in Japan but also in foreign countries.
