In My Garden

God, be in my garden,
Watch over me.
God, teach me the right way,
Help me to see.

Please, give me kindness and
Thoughtfulness, too ...
Kindness for others and
Thoughts just for you.

Jacquie Allen - Sept 27/75

Forgiveness is the perfume the trampled flower
casts back upon the foot that crushed it.

Side by Side

Clarke and Hobson on Everest

     We went to Everest with the personal
goal of attaining the summit, but we also brought
with us the hopes and dreams of our friends, families
and sponsors back home. We take pride in the willingness
of members of our team to lend a helping hand, as was
illustrated by the rescue of other climbers during our
descent. We strove for a higher purpose than to simply
stand on top of the world.
     Our adventure safely concluded, our goal will be to
demonstrate how the lessons we learned on Everest can be
applied to the world of business and the business of life.
We want to do more than merely share a story about a couple
of guys who climbed a mounain. In many ways, what we did
was irrelevant. What is not irrelevant are the lessons we
learned along the way; how to work as a team,
how to overcome setbacks, how to deal with failure,
how to push through pain and discomfort
and how to make dreams come true, whatever the obstacles.
From Everest, we learned that
it is unrealistic to expect to have success without failure.
Failure is an integral part of success,
because it is from failure that we learn.
