"Life is rock climbing. Rock climbing is life. You choose your route carefully, but when you get stuck, you either give up, persevere, or change your mind. You have the support of others but often it is solely your decision. There are dips, slips and falls, but if you have the willpower to continue, to move on, you will embrace your decision in due time. When you get to a hard patch, with no visible support, you know that there is always a way to the top. It is not designed to be impossible, and it is not impossible. A fear will bring you down, but an empty mind is one most likely to make a mistake. Balance is key. The most important lesson, however, is to know that no matter the hardships, no matter the fears or the bad decisions, when you make it to the top, there is victory, and the accompanying feeling. That is when you know that you have succeeded." --Derek MacPherson "The best climber is the one having the most fun. " -- Alex Lowe "Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career." --Abdul Kalam
