" ... Achievement in any venture comes from being process-oriented, not result-oriented. Bernadette McDonald, a Canadian author and mountain climber, writes in Freedom Climbers, “To be a climber, one has to accept that gratification is rarely immediate.” You will invest time, energy and resources to climb a peak, only to have to turn back because of the wind, the weather or the unexpected.

For me, the beauty of climbing is found in every step, move, turn and new glimpse of scenery. ... "

And every time you fail—instead of giving up—try to do what every successful person before you did: keep swinging with your winning mindset until you hit your dreams out of the park. ... "
