Sir Edmund Hillary, Man of determination, greatest mountain climber, who made it to the top of The Great Mount Everest along with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1953 is no more with us today. Died in Auckland because of pneumonia on 11th January. He leaves us with the great history to the generations to come.
Sadness has covered in hearts of millions today across the world. He had been inspiration for many through out this era. He have set an example for all of us and we can very much learn a lot from his life to reach up to those greatest levels in our lives. The lessons of humanity and determination taught by Hilary should drive more and more young people towards achieving a successful and meaningful life.
There are no words in which I can express what I feel about these great hero’s who are now in history, but here I express my deep condolences.
