Challenge Is What Makes Men. It Will

It Is Not The Mountain We Conquer, But Ourselves.

People Do Not Decide To Become Extraordinary. They Decide To Accomplish Extraordinary Things.

I Still Think Have This Deep Desire For Our Himalayan Trust - That We Raise The Necessary Funds, That We Do All The Things That The Sherpas Want Us To Do, And I Would Like To See Us Working Together With Them On These Projects. Even Though I'm Old And Decrepit I Still Have This Strong Feeling That I Would Like To Carry These Things Out If It Were Still Possible.

I Have Been Seriously Afraid At Times But Have Used My Fear As A Stimulating Factor Rather Than Allowing It To Paralyse Me. My Abilities Have Not Been Outstanding, But I Have Had Sufficient Strength And Determination To Meet My Challenges And Have Usually Managed To Succeed With Them.

I Never Talk About Being Leaders And All The Rest Of It. I Can Only Remember One Or Two Occasions In My Life When I Actually Issued Orders, And I Felt Thoroughly Miserable After Doing It.
