"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves." -- Edmund Hillary

So I know.  He actually conquered the mountain (Everest to be exact), but the idea holds true.  Often times we get so bogged down in the little imaginary obstacles (the mountain) that we miss the real obstacles (ourselves).  Something I need to remind myself of on a weekly basis at work or dealing with certain people.  Keep the summit in the forefront.  Nothing else matters.
