To the TOP of the World - words of wisdom

Junko Tabei

"Technique and ability alone do not get you to the top - it is the will power that is the most important. This will power you cannot buy with money or be given by others - it rises from your heart."

Here is Sherri's Asian Culture Celebration Month quotation contest, week 2!

Like we did with African History Month, this month the vocabulary contest will be quotes from famous Asian people. You are being asked to use pictures and/or words to describe what the quote means to you.

Remember to include in your answer
  • something you know about Junko Tabei, (click the post title to check your info)
  • your interpretation of how she might have meant this in her own world,
and
  • how it means something to you in YOUR world, right now.
Sherri will get your answers straight from this blog!

I think what Gandi meant is that the world needs peace and no violense.And the world does'nt needs pollution.Gandi reminds me of Nelson Mandela because he does'nt want violense either.

Junko had reached her goal to climb Mt.Everest and started a group for others to achieve there goals and be exactly like Junko.

Anonymous said...

Junko started clibing when she was ten years old. On a class trip. Junko needed will power to climb the mountian. It means to me to believe that you can do it and then if you do, then you can climb to the top, and do a very hard thing.

I think she meant that you can't achieve your goal only with technique and ability, but you need will power that comes from yourself. I think that it is very impressive that she started climbing at the age of 10!She meant that she couldn't just climb Mount Everest with skill but with power as well.

Junko Tabei climbed the very top of Mount Everest.I think she meant by saying her quote, is that you should treat women fairly as men.I think the quote meant, women can do anything as men can do.I think that Junko Tabei is a great leader.
This will power you cannot buy or be given to others.It rises from your heart.So I say women can do whatever men can!

Junko Tabei is a independent and and she has will power and she has the ability to cilmb Mount everest and she is is a rolemodel to other women and she I wonder how she survied in a little bit of air.Junko Tabei qoute means to me you have the ability to do anything .I think Jonko Tabei climed the Mount everest to prove that she can do any thing if you put you mind to it.

a lady i would love for thare to be
a women presadendt and Junco is a very brave women!!!!!

I think what the qoute means is to be determined, to finish something and keep trying because eventually you will get it right.Just like Junko Tabei kept on trying to ciimb mountains throught her life.This reminds me of when once I couldn't do something and I kept on trying, and after a little while I was doing it right because I was determined.

I think the qoute means to me that you shoudn't give up on yourself.Just because sombody says you can't do somthing you don't give up. When you try real hard on somthing and you do it for days you get better. Will power is what Junko Tabei needed to climb up that mountain and I guess if she can do it I can do it to. People disagree with you when you can't do somthing but when you try real hard you know you can make it to the top. Will power you cannot buy with money or get it from other people it comes from your heart. When I am playing basketball against other people I feel tired and think in my head I should just give up but then I think I should keep going thats how I keep my will power. For me basketball is an ability I have been playing basketball for years and I am very good at it.
Qoute from Junko tabei

The words that Junko Tabei said after she climbed Mount Everrest means to me that it will take energy to do something that a person wants to do.These words encouraged me to use the will power
inside of me for my favourite sport
hockey.I will use my will power for
hockey becuase I really like this sport and I really want to keep going with this until the end.\

I think the quote means that you shouldn't give up when you are doing something you can't do.The will power will give you energy to climb to the top of the world.Don't give up when someone says give up because its to hard.Be yourself don't follow people says. The paper says "Technique and ability alone do not get you to the top - its is the will power that is the most important.This will power you cannot buy with money or be given by others - it rises from your heart."

I think juno tabei means not only men can do things like climbing mountains and working. Women can also do these stuff. She inspires me not to judge girls or boys by what they can, do and what they cannot do.

junko tabie I think that women can do what men can do because sometimes i do girl stuff to.BY REYNARD

Anonymous said...

I think that quote means that if she was the boss of the whole world she make everything equal and fair. She would say that women can do anything that men can do. No killing have everyone have their rights. It was really hard for Junko Tabei because all the mountins that she climbed it should of been really hard. I think that I never can do that in my life. If i had will power i would want to fly airplanes.

The reason why I think Junko sad the quote is because she is trying
to tell women that thay can do whatever thay want.

When Junko Tabei said the quote she
ment that just because shes very strong does not meen that you have to be strong, she meens that you have to use your will power.
You have to believe yourself.
you need the ability to believe
yourself.
In my life this would be the best
quote.
Junko Tabei said that girls and boys can do the same things.
Shes saying that everyone can do the same thing.
You have to have faith in yourself otherwise you cant really do it.

Anonymous said...

When Junko said the quote it meant
that someone would want to do
something big they would need courage to do such a thing.
Everything you would like to do is
up to your heart.but most inportant
is will power.I need will power for food and strength.
