We all have passion which is difficult to attain but is extremely rewarding in the end, whether it be climbing mountains, skydiving, scuba diving, or even cooking.

She was the first Nepalese woman to conquer all the highest peaks in the seven continents, known as the ‘Seven Summits.’ She did find her passion, but to continue her passion, she had to overcome many hurdles.
