Grecian Sage Socrates once said " The surest way to get mount Olympus is to make sure that every step you take is in the direction of the mountain".
An Orientalist postulates that "A wise man can fall seven times but will always get up, while the foolish man falls only once and relaxes in the dust".
"What make a man great is not the height he has attained but the obstacles overcame in attaining the height".
The three statements illustrate graphically the fact that nothing in this life always goes smoothly the way you want it especially good things but that with sustained efforts you can still achieve results.
It is not falling that matters but getting up from the falling, it is not having obstacle that matters but overcoming the obstacles. It is equally not having lofty dreams about getting to Mount Olympus and Kilimanjaro that matters but reaching the top by threading the path towards it.
