Everest-Sized Influence
Success isn’t always a measurement of personal achievement. It’s often determined by the influence we have on others. The tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest, is named after Sir George Everest, a geographer from the 1800’s, but not because Sir George was the first to summit the mountain. That was Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953. As a matter of fact, Sir George Everest never even saw the mountain. The man who hiked the Himalayas to officially calculate the mountain’s record-breaking height was Andrew Waugh.
