On any given day, we can avoid the climb. We can stand at the bottom, look up, and say, “I’ll wait. Hopefully, the mountain isn’t here tomorrow.” But we all know the mountain is still there tomorrow. And instead of looking smaller, it’s even larger.

When I talked to Jerzy Gregorek about the mountain, he said. “Easy decisions, hard life. Hard decisions, easy life.”
