No Mountain Is Too High...

Pioneering. Adventure. The Unknown.

"Just remember, for the pioneer, life is an adventure
and the path is unknown. But for those with a passion
for their dreams, no mountain is too high."

Quotation by Skip Yowell, co-founder of JanSport. I am currently reading through his book called "The Hippie Guide to Climbing the Corporate Ladder and Other Mountains". Basically, the book is a true recounting of how Skip and his hippie friends with no business experience pioneered one of the world's leading brands of the outdoor industry. I find the book quite groovy, in several aspects. It is an inspiration. They let nothing stop them from chasing after the dream they had. They had humble beginnings, but determination put them where they are now. In 2007, JanSport celebrated their 40th anniversary as a great company.

Goes to show that cool things do happen when we step out and push towards our goals (and believe that God can do all things). Sometimes the world may laugh and think that we're crazy, but with God no mountain is too high. He works out of the norm. How cool is it that He can be so unexpected?
