Carmelo AnthonyI went about the job in a direct way.

Tomas Transtromerโฆlife isnโt a puzzle to be solved. Itโs an adventure to be savored. Let every challenge be a new mountain to climb, not an obstacle to get in your way and stop you.

And at the top, it never seems to have been as difficult a feat to climb there as you first made it out to be. Most of all, youโll know that you beat that mountain, and that you rule it. It does not rule you.
