One of my hero's and something I've learned from him




“I only know that under-realization of the bodily and emotional resources promotes a cancer of the soul, an unlived life.”

-Reinhold Messner
The Big Walls. p90

So when you're sitting in your cubicle farm (or whatever you are doing) 10yrs from now, it better be pushing your personal abilities to their fullest extent. It's like holding your breath in, if you don't exhale, then how can you inhale, and continue to live? If you can't do your best because you are not in an environment that can foster your abilities to their fullest extent, then you're missing the opportunity that life gives you everyday, and therefore it is like an unlived life, as Messner would say.
