As a boy growing up in Colombia, Ricardo Garcia hiked the trails outside downtown Bogota with a team of family members led by his grandfather. While the first phase was easy, the next three were steeper and rockier and thus tougher to complete, the team getting progressively wearier and more exhausted. "We started to complain," Garcia recalled. "But my grandfather wouldn't turn around. He would tell us, 'Adelante arriba, muchachos!' or 'up on ahead, young guys!' till we got to the end. When we finished the fourth phase, we used to get this feeling, a sense of accomplishment and teamwork."
The same feelings, Garcia said, he experienced after completing a hike of a different sort: the relocation of his technology support and training business from Harrison to larger offices in Yonkers.
