Post #4 - Going to Extremes:Sports and Obsession


     When I quitted my job, I went to the Halla-moutain in Je-Ju, Korea. The Halla-mountain is the highest mountain in South Korea. I wanted to achieve for the climbing. Also, I wanted to focus on me. Climbing time took for 12 hours! (I started at about 6 a.m. I finished at about 6 p.m.) It was very hard for me. I got out of breathe walking up the mountain. When I climbed the mountain, sometimes, I wanted to give up because the mountain grew steeper as I climbed higher, my legs were trembling, I was spent up. so I needed concentration myself for long time as time goes by. The more closed to top of the mountain,  I got obsessed because of my mind that I shouldn't give up. I saw that many people who climbed gave up. I hesitated. I thought that maybe it's first time and last time. It may beneficial on me, so I didn't give up. When I went to the top of the mountain, it was awesome ! Actually, it was cold, tired and painful, but I felt a sense of accomplishment. After climbing, I got fatigue for long time, but I didn't regret. It left to my first extrem sports and good memory.
