::::::::
Until one is committed, ther is hesitancy, the chance to draw back.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), ther is one elementary truth
The ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:
That the moment one commits oneself, then providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor
All manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance
Which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now".
---William Hutchinson Murray (1913-1996)
from his 1951 book The Scottish Himalayan Expedition
