If you want to climb a mountain, understand this
A mountain is tall and complex, it is rigorous
Only someone who can withstand pain is fit to climb it
Your body will begin to fail you under the circumstances
Only those who are strong enough can carry on-

There will be times when your hands will fit into the grooves
During these times, many become vain and move in haste
I warn you, don’t be like them! Take heed!
For after the grooves come sharp edges and steep slopes
When your hands are in the grooves, beware-

There will be times when you almost reach your limit
During these times, many lose hope and let go
I warn you, don’t be like them! Take heed!
For after the struggle comes the joyous peak
When you almost reach your limit, have hope-

There will be times when the mountain is too high
During these times, many are overcome with sadness
I warn you, don’t be like them! Take heed!
For after the height of the mountain comes the top
When the mountain is too high, stay strong-

There will be times when you lose your grip
During these times, many will panic
I warn you, don’t be like them! Take heed!
For after you lose your grip, you will find a new hold
When you lose your grip, be brave-
