Maple's Special – 21
It’s kind of unbelievable for us to be able to conquer Wudang Mountain right?
Personally, I also think it is incredible.
Not because I don’t believe others’ ability, rather I don’t believe myself. In fact, my stamina is not well-trained after I quit Tae Won Do years ago. And according to the tour guide, it is really tough to climb the mountain. Though when I am asked if I have the confidence to reach peak, I said yes, but deep in my heart, self-doubt.
I guess the main factor to let all of us to climb up is only one, the unity.
We, 17 people, are a team. We move as a team, we stop as a team. All thanks to the unity we have, we all can buck up whenever we think of giving up. Whenever there’s someone tired, we will stop to let her/him rest. Whenever there’s someone left behind, we will wait for them to catch up. Know why? Cause we’re a team and we’re united.
When we’re climbing up, there’re actually times when I wish to give up. I really felt that I cannot make it anymore. My body, my leg, my stomach can’t stand it anymore. I was about to give up. I was about to collapse.
But when I looked at my teammate, who was even more exhausted than me, who encouraged me, I know I have to buck up. From their eyes, I can gain the energy needed. I can see their urge for all of us to reach the peak. And If I give up half way, instead of myself only, I will bring the whole group down. I don’t want to drag them, and so I stand up again, continue climbing, till the top.
From this, I strongly feel that, unity is a drive, helps to push you and exploit yourself to maximum.
I guess if I am climbing alone, I will definitely give up half way.
Thanks my group, you drive me up.
One chopstick is easy to break, but a buddle of chopsticks is hard to break. This is the power of unity.
