The Secret Of The Mountain
Junko Tabei
Anyone with a pair of feet who can walk can climb.
Junko Tabei
There was never a question in my mind that I wanted to climb that mountain,
Junko Tabei
no matter what other people said.
Junko Tabei
The mountain teaches me many things.
Junko Tabei
It makes me realize how trivial my personal problems are.
Junko Tabei
It also teaches me that life should not be taken for granted.
Junko Tabei
Technique and ability alone do not get you to the top;
Junko Tabei
it is the willpower that is the most important.
Junko Tabei
This willpower you cannot buy with money or be given by others.
Junko Tabei
It rises from your heart.

So let us then try to climb the mountain,
Maurits Cornelis Escher
not by stepping on what is below us,
Maurits Cornelis Escher
but to pull us up at what is above us,
Maurits Cornelis Escher
for my part at the stars;
Maurits Cornelis Escher
amen.
