征服自己 Conquer Myself

In the 1920s, a man from England had finish climbing the Himalayas which was thought to the most difficult mountain to conquer. People spoke highly of him and asked him how he conquered the mountain. The man said calmly that he conquered nothing but himself. These words seem to be simple, but for me, they are meaningful. When we face the difficulties, we will give up because we think we can’t do it. With that thought, we have given up so many chances to try. Life is a journey, if we stop keeping moving on, how can we see the coming scenery. It is obvious that the problem is ourselves, we are afraid of failure and refuse to try. If we get over this thought and have a try, then we are heading to the road of success. When we conquer ourselves, we are successful. 
在20世纪20年代，一个来自英国的人完成了攀登喜马拉雅山的壮举，而喜马拉雅山被认为是最难攻克的。人们高度赞扬了这个英国人，并且问他是如何征服这座山的。他平静地说他什么也没有征服，只有征服了自己。这些话看起来很简单，但是对于我来说，确是意义深远。当我们面对困难，就会放弃，因为我们认为自己无法做到。有了这样的想法，我们就已经放弃了很多机会去尝试。生活就是一场旅行，如果我们停下了，不前进，怎么能够看到接下来的风景呢。很明显，问题在于我们，我们害怕失败，拒绝去尝试。如果我们克服了这样的想法，并且去尝试，就会通往成功的道路。当我们征服了自己，就是成功了。
