achievement and attitude

Dreaming great dreams.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Everything would have been for nothing just because I simply didn’t listen.

Every time someone starts a project he is considered nuts, until he beats all the odds and laughs the last.

Falling has become far more terrifying to me than rising.

Fascinatingly resilient the tenacity of a child. Not yet conditioned by society to give up when instructed to do so.

Finding happiness by delivering it.

Chris Murray

For me, exploration was a personal venture. I did not go to the Arabian desert to collect plants nor to make a map; such things were incidental. At heart, I knew that to write or even to talk of my travels was to tarnish the achievement. I went there to find peace in the hardship of desert travel and the company of desert peoples. I set myself a goal on these journeys, and, although the goal itself was unimportant, its attainment had to be worth every effort and sacrifice... No, it is not the goal but the way there that matters, and the harder the way the more worthwhile the journey.
