108km Gobi Desert Race Walk Day 3

108km Gobi Desert Race Walk Day 3

[10/1440 min of your day]

I embarked on a personal challenge this year - to complete 108km in Gobi Desert over 4 days 3 nights.

22 May 2019, Day 3, 30km - A day of opening of the Mind and Heart

It is normal to have a landmark/ someone you want to overtake in order to move forward. However in order to overtake or at least keep up with the person in front of you, you have to be faster or at least equally fast. Otherwise, you will be left behind. It is not a sad truth, it is just how it works. Likewise in anything we do in life.

Success doesn't come easily as it seems. We do not have to envy those who are enjoying their fruits of labor because the blood, sweat and preparation that they took weeks/ months/ years to build are moments we did not put ourselves through.

If you are not at where you want to be, you can only work harder and find ways to work smarter. If you want to be able to enjoy life the way you wish to, elevate yourself.

2019我拥有了不一样的520

独自一人,唯一一个海外,漂洋过海,挑战戈壁🏜️

Day 3: 你要想和优秀的的人在一起,自己也必须变得卓越

永远不需要羡慕别人的成就,因为你永远都不会知道他(她)所付出的心思,时间和血汗。你只能问自己:为什么我没做到像他(她)一样?自己去鞭策自己,是不是方法用错了,是不是自己根本没那么努力呢?还没有变得卓越前,你就必须修练下去。要玩要享受风景的前提是要有本事。

这一趟戈壁行走,是人生之旅。回来后,我都鼓励身边的朋友有机会的话,一定要去潇洒走一回。
