Adventure @ 80 years

It’s a general notion that one cannot be physically fit, active and mobile at the age of 80 years. Mr. Yuichiro Miura, a Japanese man proved all these myths wrong by climbing Mt. Everest yesterday, at the age of 80 years, despite four heart surgeries. Through this he became the oldest man to scale the peak. He did this earlier also at the age of 70 and 75 years. Interesting fact is that Mr. Bahadur Sherchan, 81 years Nepalese man, who too scaled Mt. Everest at the age of 76 in 2008 to set record, is preparing to climb this peak next week regardless of health problems.

I salute these two men and seriously wish that we all should get inspired from them for keep ourselves physically fit and active so that we can lead a healthy and active life, especially post 60 years.

Sharing the video by BBC World News about Mr. Yuichiro Miura’s success:
