John,

Great story. Great quote.

Next step – great action.

You’re a sufficiently motivated ordinary chap – for sure.

Keep smiling.:-)
( thanks Nick, great snakes, I will have to get into the action )

Hi John,

Personally I love the mountains but not as much as the forests and lakes; however, to climb the Mt. Everest is truly an achievement of greatness!

Your posts are always so very personal and up-lifting. I have a very warm spot for New Zealand – you are lucky to live there (I think!).Thanks for the great work. Hope all is going well with your product creation.

( thanks Svenja, you encourage me with your feedback.)

Hi John,

Great post and great blog. Loved reading about you, sounds like you are a very busy man, when do you get time for this?
One thing I really like about your blog is the way your responses to comments is in brackets under each comment. How did you do that? Care to share?

Cheers,
Tracey

(Thanks for your kind remarks. I don’t mow the lawns Tracey ) , and keep telling my wife that the Masterclass will help me keep her in a style befitting her. As for my response, I like it to be ‘under the radar’, so just go into ‘edit’ in the blog post control, and italicize, then ‘update comment’ )

Hi JJ,

Another gen from you. I am looking forward to following the journey of sherpa appa now.

Enjoy the journey.

( thanks, by coincidence in todays paper discovered who Apa Sherpa is, the most Everest climbs 18. Going on another summit expedition and will pack out rubbish, very concerned that the spiritual significance of Everest is being ruined by climbing tourism)

Hi John
As always a very fascinating post
I had a newspaper cutting of Sir Ed (and Sherpa Tensing) on my wall for most of last year. My young son was inspired too.
Keep up the good work.
Goodd luck

(thanks Eamon, the word icon gets over-used, but Sir Ed qualified )

Great post, jj, and of course, very dear to a fellow kiwi’s heart!
Sir Ed is certainly an inspiration to us all.
Cheers

(glad you felt the vibe Sue. Sir Ed was Steve Gurney’s inspiration (Coast to Coast winner many times)
