Climb!

You are right now on the Mount.

The peek is too high to be seen.

Pines, rocks, clouds, and birds together,

come to free your soul between the sky and the mountain.

Laughter is following the steps.

Climb!

You don’t have to go to the mountain,

but you need to have a mountain in your heart.

When you look up, you know the peak is there and find a way to go up.

The mountain you are climbing is always unique.

The foot is who you are;

The peak is who you want to be.

Escape is not an option.

Climb!

Friendship is as precious as water on the way of climbing.

Friends reduce the pressure on your shoulder;

Friends share the food, water, scenes, joy and difficulty.

You can’t live without them and they are the gifts from the god.

However, friends can’t climb for you--- You are all on your own legs.

Climb!

You hear your heavy breath;

You feel your quick heart-beating.

It’s difficult to raise the leg in each step.

Yes, you never think about giving up,

You were born with the heart of a lion,

while you are climbing with Achille’s heel---

weakness, loneliness, sloth, fatness, boredom and stupidity.

Climb!

Don’t sit down to wait for the appearance of Apolo.

There’s no Apolo under the spell of Cupid to save a helpless nymph.

You can never be the nymph unless you reach the peak.

The better choice is to keep climbing until you see the beautiful sunrise and say---

Hey, there you are.

Climb!

You are always on the mountain.

And the sun will rise;

Tomorrow never dies.
