Nothing inspires people more than reckless acts of courage.
People ask me, "How do I succeed?" Whatever it is they do, I say, "Go and find 20 ways of messing it up. By 21, you'll be getting there." Life is an adventure, go back with cuts, scars and bruises.
To me, adventure has always been to me the connections and bounds you create with people when you're there. And you can have that anywhere.
Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.
I'm terrified of walking into a room full of people. Sitting down at a dinner table with 15 strangers brings me out in a sweat.
Many people find it hard to understand what it is about a mountain that draws men and women to risk their lives on her freezing, icy faces - all for a chance at that single, solitary moment on the top. It can be hard to explain. But I also relate to the quote that says, Iif you have to ask, you will never understand.
My work is all about adventure and teamwork in some of the most inhospitable jungles, mountains and deserts on the planet. If you aren't able to look after yourself and each other, then people die.
Are you the sort of person who can turn around when you have nothing left, and find that little bit extra inside you to keep going, or do you sag and wilt with exhaustion? It is a mental game, and it is hard to tell how people will react until they are squeezed.
I've seen extreme bravery from the least likely of people. Life is about the moments when it's all gone wrong. That's when we define ourselves.
I am not fearless. I get scared plenty. But I have also learned how to channel that emotion to sharpen me.
You don't need to go to the ends of the earth, you don't need to climb Everest to have a great adventure, it's invariably on our doorstep.
Unless you have shelter, fire is going to be very hard and if you have fire, but no water, you're going to die. They're all super important.
Scouts should be progressive and should be adapting. If you're gay or not it's irrelevant, Scouting values respect.
I'm probably going to be the scruffiest Chief Scout you've ever had and my health and safety policy is non-existent.
