Student : Today is a great day to meet you Mr. Mark Inglis. Your achievements have always been a source of inspiration for us.

Mark Inglis : My pleasure too!

Student : How did you feel when you were stuck in an ice cave for thirteen days?

Mark Inglis : The experience was really horrifying in that extreme cold, but still my fellow mate and I kept on praying for relief.

Student : Why did you choose your career in wine making when mountaineering was your passion?

Mark Inglis : Initially, climbing the mountains on prosthetic legs was not only very painful, but frustrating too. As a result, I took up wine making as a career.

Student : Do you really believe that “Disability is a state of mind?”

Mark Inglis : Yes, according to me “Disability is totally a state of mind”. Our body functions the way we command it. And this has been proven by a double amputee scaling the summit of the Mt. Everest.

Student : How did you get the idea of scaling Mt. Everest?

Mark Inglis : When I first scaled Mt. Cook with my prosthetic legs, I gained the courage to scale the Mt. Everest as well.

Student : Please share with us your experience of climbing the Mt. Everest.

Mark Inglis : While climbing the Mt. Everest, people around me were cribbing that it was very hard to climb. They were people with no disability in their body. But, still I did not loose hope and continued to scale the peak.

Student : Sir, please suggest us a way to achieve success in life.

Mark Inglis : To achieve success in life, one should always be ready to take on the challenges. We should not be scared of any difficulty. The attitude ‘I can do it’ will help us a lot.

Student : Thank you Sir, for your valuable time.

Mark Inglis : You are welcome.
