It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves. ~Edmund Hillary
Yes, it is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves. However, we can’t wait to conquer ourselves for us to climb the mountain. The mountain is used as a tool to help us conquer ourselves. We do need a new mindset or a change in our thinking before we can start climbing. It is better to prepare and do some research before we start. Doing research will help us expand our knowledge on the subject, eliminate some of our preconceive ideas and have a better handle on things.
