Three Cups of Tea
Mortenson’s New York Times bestseller Three Cups of Tea challenged me in many different areas and gave me a different outlook on the way other countries deal with poverty. To me the most challenging thing to understand about the book is how someone like Mortenson can go from a mountaineer to being such a great humanitarian. God’s plan for Mortenson wasn’t to be a mountaineer at all; his plan for him was to do great things in impoverished countries. The way that he failed to climb K2 then randomly wandered into Pakistan is miraculous, something even more inspiring then that is that he stayed around long enough to be moved by the people and to see the real problems that were going on in this village.

It’s something that if I could do for just a short period of time I gladly would give it a try. Seeing life through someone else’s eyes would put a lot of things into perspective. Especially if it is a person’s eyes that lives a completely opposite life as I do. To walk in someone else’s shoes would be a great adventure and to do so would change your own life forever. My whole life I have only seen life from one point of view, that point of view is my own. I only have one set of view points and one set of moral values and I have a lot of biased opinions.

He is a very small part of the population that would even put in any time or effort or even donate money. He organized the money and the ideas and put them into actions. Mortenson sees the world through a different view than most people. He tries his best to see the world through the eyes of God and every little random act of kindness helps. He is taking this act of kindness one school at a time and has built fifty five schools throughout Pakistan and Afghanistan. For Mortenson to make his experience into a book is a great idea because when you are reading this book you are experiencing what he experienced and what he is still experiencing today. He is a great person to see a view point from because he knows exactly what he wants to do and he has a plan and obviously he has a strong connection with God. This book shows the rewards of
