They had achieved a goal many considered unthinkable: In the face of adversity, they had overcome the odds. “The freedom to explore is a freedom that everyone should have, regardless of their abilities or disabilities,” Guller told his admirers."

"When Gary concludes by saying, “Think Big. Act bold. Treat people fairly. Play to win. Be the best you can be, everyday,” you are unable to discard it as yet-another-motivational-speaker-giving-his-spiel-to-clients-with-fat-purses, simply because the `empty’ left sleeve of his blue shirt flaps, and you can almost hear it say to life, “Gotcha!”For the `sleeve’ belong s to a man, who two decades ago, lay on the hard icy floor of Pico de Orizaba, with a dead friend on one side, and an uncertain future ahead; it belongs to the man who climbed the world’s tallest mountain and it belongs to a man who says with a broad smile, “Always make others greater and success is guaranteed.”
