Michael Jordan
When Michael Jordan's feet left the ground, time seemed to stand still. The player who became known as "Air Jordan" changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps. Jordan’s skills were impressive, but the mental strength that he showed made him unique. In the final seconds of a game, Jordan always seemed to find a way to win. Jordan says that the secret to his success is learning from his failures. "I can accept failure; everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying. " Losing games taught him to practise harder and never give up. In life, Jordan has learnt to share his success with others. The Boys and Girls Club which he started in Chicago has been helping young people since 1996.

Karsts are rock formations made of limestone. They have been sculpted by wind and water and millions of years of erosion into these beautiful natural sculptures. One of the most famous places in the world for karsts is Guilin. The karsts there provide a lot of exciting opportunities to rock climbers.
喀斯特(Karst),意为岩石裸露的地方。
喀斯特地貌,又称岩溶地貌,是具有溶蚀力的水对可溶性岩石(大多为石灰岩)进行溶蚀作用等所形成的地表和地下形态的总称。我国喀斯特地貌分布广、面积大,主要分布在碳酸盐岩出露地区,面积约91至130万平方千米。其中以广西、贵州、云南和四川、青海东部所占的面积最大,是世界上最大的喀斯特区之一。
喀斯特地貌是大自然给人类留下的宝贵礼物,无论是峰林、石芽还是溶洞、峡谷,它们不仅为我国的科学研究和资源探索带来可贵资料,还为旅游业的发展带来无限生机。而阳朔十里画廊,群峰挺拔,峰丛林立,风姿多态的喀斯特景观星罗棋布,地下洞系密集交织。地表的秀丽山林与地下的钟乳石笋交相辉映,构成了大自然“奇峰、奇洞、美石”的奇观。

TEXT
Travelling through China is really one of the more unique travel experiences that I’ve had. It’s got one of the most diverse landscapes that I’ve ever experienced.
These ancient karst formations have been sculpted by wind and water and millions of years of erosion into these beautiful natural sculptures.
As a rock climber, you look at these rock formations and you can’t help but be inspired. For me, it’s important not just to go and see these amazing landscapes but to interact with them. To get to climb on them is just the experience of the lifetime.
The stone here offers up gymnastic, athletic movement but it can also be very adventurous, sometimes dangerous, but always beautiful. This is what we love to do—to come to these beautiful natural areas and climb and explore and push ourselves mentally and physically.
China is relatively unexplored and new to climbers and to adventurers who want to go out and see something new and spectacular.
These limestone karsts are some of the most beautiful rock formations in the world. You go into a landscape like this and it affects you and it changes you as a person. It inspires you. As a climber, that’s really the biggest part of it. It’s something that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.
