A life lesson for me is, how do you muster the courage to take on a new risk? Whether it's starting up a business or taking on a new project or expedition. I think the risks that we take are all relative to the risk-taker.
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
