1. I was the kid who sat on the sidelines and watched others having a good time splashing about in the sea, wishing I could swim. Eventually, I learned how to the hard way. My brothers threw me into the water. As I floundered and nearly drowned, it didn't occur to me then that my brothers had taught me two important skills: Survival and independence. These skills were gifts that I relied on numerous times over as an adult. As a child, I was game for anything. 2. Nothing fascinated me more than the chance to try something new. If nothing else, my curiosity was fueled by the desire to test my limits. I was sixteen when I climbed my first mountain. It was Gunung Ledang in Johor, Malaysia, in 1980. It was a horrible experience. I found the heat and thickness of the jungle overwhelming. The night spent on the summit was cold and lonely. As I lay in my tent, with my knees curled to my chin, I vowed that I would never climb another mountain. 3.
