Reaching the
Top of the Mountain
before
you reach the top.
Whenever the sun
dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I
used to climb
the mountain near my
house. Walking together, my father and I used to
have a lot of
conversations through
which I learned lessons from his experiences. He
always stressed to
me,
This
has largely influenced my life. Without the
mountain-climbing that we both
enjoyed,
we couldn't have had enough time to spend together
because my father was very
busy. I
believe mountaineering is really beneficial. It
gave me time to talk with my father
and
to be in deep contemplation as well as develop my
patience. I loved scaling mountains,
to
get away from the noise and pollution of the city,
and breathe the fresh air.
One time we
climbed a very high mountain. It was so
challenging for me because I
was only
ten years old. During the first few hours of
climbing, I enjoyed the fresh air, the
birds' singing, and the beautiful
dances of butterflies; but as time passed, I got a

both of my legs. At that
moment, I wanted to quit climbing. Actually, I
hated it at that

said to me,
The mountain and fields
where we are standing are embroidered with flowers

You can always see a

you reach the top.
You can always enjoy the scenes of many waterfalls
and coulntless
peaks and valleys at the
top of the mountain, but you can't when you are
halfway up. Only
there at the top, can
you embrace all of those things, just like in
life.
At that time, I was too young to
understand his thoughts, but after that, I got new
hope and confidence. Finally, I found
myself standing at the top of the mountain. And
there, I could see the whole of the
sky, which was as clear as crystal.
