The lift is about SPEED and COMFORT, but the stairs are about CERTAINTY! The lift may go wrong but stairs seldom do, you can always take the stairs. They are BOUND to take you UP and to the END as long as you continue to climb!

About This Quote

In this quote, the author is giving advice on how to accomplish something and why it is important. The second part of the quote has to do with certainty and whether or not you can take the stairs. This refers to the lift malfunctioning and making a mistake. If you can’t follow through on something, then what’s the point? While this may seem like a simple enough idea, think about how many times we make decisions in our lives that we can’t follow through on.

People make decisions all the time to do things they shouldn’t because they don’t want to go through with them. They don’t want to get in too deep and risk failure and that uncertainty. They feel like they know how things will turn out and that they will be able to handle it once it gets there.
