I learnt another valuable lesson that night: listen to the quiet voice inside. Intuition is the noise of the mind.

The truth is, I need 10 lifetimes to scratch the surface of the things I'd love to do.

Don't be scared to dream big, and don't be afraid to be close to people. And never give up! It's the tenacious not the talented that win.

The rewards of the wild and the rewards of the survivor go to those who can dig deep, and, ultimately, to the guy who can stay alive.

The special forces gave me the self-confidence to do some extraordinary things in my life. Climbing Everest then cemented my belief in myself.

The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra.

Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying.
