I have always been inspired by the stories of mountaineers. Their passion and zeal drives them to push themselves through worsening conditions, just so that they can fulfill their goal of summiting a peak.

It’s an evolving field where there is continuous innovation and craftsmanship and you have to give your best, especially to the people you are serving.

Volunteering refers to freely offering up your time to do something without having to be asked. In my opinion, the basis of volunteering and service is initiative.

In summary, on the way to help others, you first need a sense of independence and initiative to get there.
