This week saw the death of Sir Edmund Hillary. If ever we had an inspiration for personal drive this was it. It isn't so much this particular man. It is recognizing this common quality in all men who possess it. The ability to endure suffering and continue. There wasn't much purpose to climbing a mountain like Everest but this kind of will is an enviable quality. Our own personal Everests wait to be climbed.
