Change is not going anywhere. If you want to change yourself, you must not resist change.

‘Greatness comes to those who keep moving forward, figuring out what works, driving down More’s Law….’

‘Continually question and challenge your recipe, but change it rarely.

‘Test equipment in real conditions, sub-zero freezer and simulation trips before the actual expedition.’

‘Resilience, not luck, is the signature of greatness.’

‘Luck favors the persistent, but you can persist only if you survive.’

‘Luck is not a strategy, but getting a positive return on luck is.’

‘A single stroke of luck, no matter how big the break, cannot by itself make a great company.’

‘In selecting teammates, choose people to get stranded with.’

‘Have two separate team, climbers and filmmakers, that work well together on the mountain.’

‘Never let a weak member attempt to summit. ‘A team is only as strong as its weakest member.’

To stand up for others, you must first stand up for yourself. To represent others, you must first represent yourself. To lift other people up, you must first lift yourself up. Why? Because you cannot give to others what you do not have within you.

Here is what the great Martin Luther King Jr. said about standing up for other people: He said,” I am coming to feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than the people of good will. … We must come to see that human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and persistent work of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without the hard work time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation.” Change comes when we work together. It is not going to be easy, but “we can do it when we do it together.”
