- "Discipline and patience"
- "I have a father who always cares about everything I do, who wants me to experience all the things he could not, who loves me just because I'm his son"
- "Records can give you a big boost"
- "someone told me once about breaking throught comfort zones, about pushing yourself to do things beyond what you are comfortable with. How if you stay in a comfortable zone, you never grow."
- "Nothing's going to change at home, but as long as I have an opportunity to change my life, to do my life the way I wanted to do it, to make it as good as I want it to be, the I'm going for it"
- "Having the support of sponsors, family, friends, and particulary of my parents could turn to preasure because of expectations".
- "I've been spoiled by success. I became so used to hitting every target I aimed at, I forgot what Thor told me once: you just don't always summit".
- "So I learn to be patient. Take my time"
- "How do I feel on opening day? Confident. You never want to think that this mountain is going to beat you. You think in terms of steps, segments, little sections of a big plan, which will add up to making the summit"
- "It's all mine. No matter what cracks in the structure, or who likes me or not, it's up to me to keep pushing myself to the summit, to focus on every careful step. No blaming enyone else. No excuses. It's up to me"
- "They also tell me you can't start questioning yourself, that you can't think, if that guy can't make it, waht chance do I have?"
- "You have to keep your mind focused on the small, individual steps."
- "It's funny with goals, though: the higher you want to go, the higher you do go"
- "Mental capacity to push themselves to take the next step, and to know that they can keep taking that next step, no matter what. You have to knnow that you can push far beyond waht you thought was your limit."
- "There's so much to do and see and be"
- "I feel bad for all those people who have so little positive going on in their lives that all they can do is a negative: quit."
- "The point is that I'm heading somewhere. I'll put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Always climbing, training, exploring new ways to challenge myself."
I hope you find them as useful as I did.
