Dos mil trescientos diecisiete\u2026 Esa es la cantidad de pasos, de muy diversa altura, profundidad y forma que escal\u00e9 hace apenas tres d\u00edas para llegar desde el valle del R\u00edo Madi en la zona occidental de Nepal hasta la villa de Chomrong. Y eso fue despu\u00e9s de caminar durante seis horas para llegar al valle del r\u00edo desde el campamento base Annapurna. \u00bfQu\u00e9 c\u00f3mo s\u00e9 que eran 2.317? Muy simple: \u00a1Cont\u00e9 cada paso! \u00bfLoco? Quiz\u00e1s, pero qu\u00e9 sensaci\u00f3n -un triunfo- cuando finalmente se llega con los muslos adoloridos y con las articulaciones de las rodillas crujiendo mucho y se mira hacia atr\u00e1s para ver el lecho del r\u00edo abajo a lo lejos.<\/P>
\n

La iron\u00eda es que en un momento est\u00e1bamos en la sierra a la misma altitud que en Chomrong y mirando alrededor del valle con la sensaci\u00f3n muy extra\u00f1a de que podr\u00edamos acercarnos y en realidad tocar nuestro lodge, apropiadamente bautizado como Heavenly View (Visi\u00f3n Celestial). \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 cont\u00e9 los pasos? Bueno, para empezar me permiti\u00f3 concentrarme en algo y minimizar el esfuerzo del ascenso gradual, pero m\u00e1s importante quer\u00eda saber la verdadera dimensi\u00f3n de la meta que nos hab\u00edamos impuesto. \u00bfInfantil? A lo mejor, pero luego pude aplicar este ejercicio hasta cierto punto insignificante a asuntos de mucha mayor importancia: la vida misma.<\/P>
\n

Durante varios d\u00edas nos pusimos metas de caminata y, sin importar las condiciones clim\u00e1ticas (principalmente lluvias monz\u00f3n o sol), la distancia o el nivel de dificultad, las \u00edbamos logrando de manera constante: de a un paso a la vez. Llegar al Heavenly View Lodge me hizo pensar que, demasiado seguido, no nos aproximamos a los desaf\u00edos que nos presenta la vida de a un paso a la vez. Nuestra tendencia apunta a \u201catacar\u201d el problema o la oportunidad y, la mayor\u00eda de las veces, no alcanzamos las expectativas en t\u00e9rminos de la calidad de los resultados. El tiempo es el enemigo, porque debemos mostrar resultados positivos de manera casi inmediata…<\/P>
\n

Estoy muy consciente de que esta podr\u00eda parecer una idea simplista para la mayor\u00eda de ustedes y por esta raz\u00f3n necesito hacerles una prueba\u2026<\/P>
\n

Su pr\u00f3xima Reuni\u00f3n de Gerencia, sin importar el tama\u00f1o o la importancia de su negocio, se llevar\u00e1 a cabo cerca de la cumbre de un cerro muy alto; alguno como el Provincia o el Pochoco en Santiago. Digo cerca de la cumbre, no en la cumbre, de modo que no tengan que sufrir la humillaci\u00f3n de ver las notas de su reuni\u00f3n volar por todos lados. Una vez ah\u00ed, p\u00eddale a cada asistente que examine en silencio su plan y presupuesto (\u00a1suponiendo que estos existan!) para al pr\u00f3ximo trimestre y que luego expliquen al grupo por turnos como estos se cumplir\u00e1n: de a un paso a la vez.<\/P>
\n

Lo que descubrir\u00e1n es que sin importar cu\u00e1n exhaustos, llenos de ampollas, quemados por el hielo, hambrientos o cansados est\u00e9n, sus compa\u00f1eros de caminata aprender\u00e1n de una vez y para siempre que las metas de negocios, al igual que las metas de la vida, s\u00f3lo se logran de a un paso a la vez. Por supuesto, es bastante probable que la mitad de su equipo de gerencia no logre llegar al \u00e1rea de refugio que usted escogi\u00f3 debido a la falta de entrenamiento f\u00edsico, fortaleza mental o simplemente por no estar preparados para el desaf\u00edo; usted tendr\u00e1 que aprender de esto y encontrar formas de \u00a1ayudar a estas personas!<\/P>
\n

Pas\u00e9 un mes en el Reino de But\u00e1n antes de llegar a Nepal y me encant\u00f3 o\u00edr que el \u00edndice clave que se mide cada a\u00f1o es a\u00fan el de Felicidad Nacional Bruta (FNB). No todos est\u00e1n \u201cfelices\u201d con su situaci\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica, de hecho distan mucho de ello, pero la b\u00fasqueda de la felicidad es real. Ahora bien, \u00bfcu\u00e1l es la posici\u00f3n comparativa de Chile respecto de la \u201cfelicidad\u201d o la teor\u00eda de \u201csentirse bien\u201d? Mucho m\u00e1s abajo y compitiendo con pa\u00edses como Hait\u00ed, Zimbabue, Nigeria y Corea del Norte; bueno, quiz\u00e1s estoy exagerando un poco\u2026<\/P>
\n

Entonces, \u00bfpodr\u00edamos desafiarnos a ser s\u00f3lo un poco m\u00e1s felices, estar menos estresados y emocionados por estar vivos, de a un paso a la vez? Nos merecemos ser felices, \u00bfno? Yo creo que s\u00ed.<\/P>
\n

Pr\u00f3xima parada: Mongolia, un pa\u00eds extremadamente grande emplazado entre Rusia y China. Intentar\u00e9 descubrir los secretos del pastor n\u00f3made para la felicidad sobre la marcha: de a un paso a la vez.<\/P>
\n

Se despide, totalmente relajado y disfrutando de sus divagaciones y andanzas,<\/P>

Two thousand three hundred and seventeen\u2026 That is the number of steps, of very varying height, depth and shape I climbed just three days ago to get from the valley of the River Madi in Western Nepal up to the village of Chhomrong. And this was after trekking for six hours to get to the river valley from the Annapurna Base Camp.  How do I know it was 2,317? Very simple \u2013 I counted every step! Mad? Maybe, but what a sensation – a triumph – when you finally arrive with aching thighs and very squeaky knee joints and look back down at the riverbed far below.<\/P>
\n

The irony is that at one point we were on a ridge at the same altitude as Chhomrong and staring across the valley with the very strange feeling we could reach out and actually touch our lodge, appropriately named Heavenly View. Why did I count the steps? Well for one thing it gave me something to concentrate on and minimize the strain of gradual ascent, but more important I wanted to know the true dimension of the goal we had set ourselves. Childish? Maybe, but then I was able to apply this somewhat meaningless exercise to matters of far greater significance \u2013 life itself.<\/P>
\n

Over a period of many days we had set ourselves trekking goals and, regardless of the weather (mostly monsoon rains or sunshine), distance or level of difficulty, we had consistently achieved these \u2013 one step at a time. Arriving at Heavenly View Lodge it dawned on me that, all too often, we do not approach life\u2019s challenges one step at a time. Our tendency is to \u201cattack\u201d the problem or opportunity and, often as not, we come up short of expectations in terms of quality of result. Time is the enemy because we must show positive results almost immediately…<\/P>
\n

I am well aware this will seem like a simplistic idea to most of you and for this reason I need to give you a test\u2026<\/P>
\n

Your next Management Meeting, regardless of the size or importance of your business, will take place near the top of a very large hill; something like the Provincia or Pochoco in Santiago. I say near the top, not on it, so you will not suffer the indignity of watching your meeting notes blow away. Once there, you ask each member to silently examine his or her Plan & Budget (assuming these exist!) for the next quarter and then take turns addressing the group to explain how these will be achieved \u2013 one step at a time.<\/P>
\n

What you will discover is that however exhausted, blistered, frostbitten, hungry or tired they are, your fellow trekkers will learn once and for all that business goals, like life goals, are only achieved one step at a time. Of course, it is quite probable that half your Management Team will not make it to the sheltered area you have chosen due to lack of physical fitness, mental fortitude or simply being unprepared for the challenge; you will need to learn from this and find ways to help these people!<\/P>
\n

I spent a month in the Kingdom of Bhutan before arriving in Nepal and was delighted to hear that the key index measured each year is still Gross National Happiness (GNH). Not everyone is \u201chappy\u201d with their economic situation, in fact far from it, but the search for happiness is real. Now, what is Chile\u2019s comparative standing on \u201chappiness\u201d or the \u201cfeel good\u201d theory? Way down low and competing with countries like Haiti, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and North Korea \u2013 well, perhaps I exaggerate just a bit\u2026 So, could we challenge ourselves to be just a little bit happier, less stressed and thrilled to be alive \u2013 one step at a time? We deserve to be happy, don\u2019t we? I think so.<\/P>
\n

Next stop: Mongolia, an extremely large country which lies landlocked between Russia and China. I will attempt to discover the Nomadic herdsmen\u2019s secrets for happiness on the move \u2013 one step at a time.<\/P>
\n

Yours, truly laid back and enjoying his wandering and wondering.<\/P>
