Remember that chap about twenty years ago? I forget his name. Climbed Everest without any oxygen, came down nearly dead. When they asked him, they said why did you go up there to die? He said I didn't, I went up there to live.
Never has there been a more iconic scene from a movie for me. At every struggle in life, at every evolution point in my career, my social life, and my art, those words come up, "I never saved anything for the swim back".
nothing is inevitable...love the message of this movie!
