Finishing Well
Dr. Beck Wethers attempted to climb Mt Everest in 1987 along with many other people. This was, and is a monumental task as it takes three months, averages $50,000 in cost and only 1 in 4 ever reach the summit. For every 17 that reach the summit, one dies. Dr. Wethers and a companion were stranded high up in 30 -50 below zero temperatures, with 50-60 mile per hour winds and a blinding snow storm. By the time that the rescuers found them the lady had dies and Dr. Wethers showed no signs of life, had ice over his face and they assumed he was dead. Before they could get the two bodies off of that area of the mountain the weather turned even worse and the rescuers had to retreat to a base camp further down the mountain.
A revived Dr. Wethers came to and began to snake his way down the mountain to the camp. He was snow blinded, walked Frankenstein like and had to feel his way along icy paths with 1000-foot drops on both sides. When he finally made it back to camp, he was asked how he had made it. He replied, "I am either going to make it back to camp or fall off the mountain to my death, but I had decided that I was not going to simply lay there."
What do you think saved Dr Wethers life? Determination!

That man was Douglas MacArthur. What do you think kept young Douglas applying time after time? Determination!
