Dk Najibah (POLAR GIRL) & Me

The FIRST Brunei women to ski to the South Pole, Antartica. Era is quickly gaining the reputation as one of Brunei's leading explorers. Era, now a core member of BARA(Brunei Adventure Recreation Association.She will set to achieve this remarkable feat at the tender age of 26 years old during her adventure Kapersky Commonwealth Antartic Expedition with probably on January 2010 and also will be the youngest Bruneian to do so.

"The South Pole, also known as the Geographic South Pole or Terrestrial South Pole, is one of the two points where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects the surface. It is the southernmost point on the surface of the Earth and lies on the opposite side of the Earth from the North Pole. Situated on the continent of Antarctica, it is the site of the United States Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, which was established in 1956 and has been permanently staffed since that year. The Geographic South Pole should not be confused with the South Magnetic Pole."

The South Pole is situated about 2,700 metres (9,ooo feet) above sea level and the winds flow from it over thousands of miles down to the coast. The winds pickk up speed along the way, and he colder air masses to form near-hurricane force winds that blow for days on end.

One aspect of the exprience that suprise me was Era told that we need to visualize and prove that we can reach our goals. Era is very independence girl which want to grab opportunity to go to South Pole with positive mission and vision.

The three most important things I learnt from the motivational talk are

1. We need to go outside "comfort zone" and set up our goals in life to ensure our goals are achieve.
2. The words 'JANJI MELAYU', we need to change our perspective. So we need to punctual for our promise. We need to change our habit.
   
3. 'Leadership skills'we need to show off and be confident in everything we do. Don' t just talk but do it properly and professionally.
   

Lastly, I really enjoy to hear ERA motivational talks and also give motivate for me to put more effort to achieve my own goals. I hope she will achieve her dream and also good luck to her.
