Most people think, when they're young, that they're going to the top of their chosen world, and that the climb up is only a formality. Without that faith, I suppose, they might never start. Somewhere on the way they lift their eyes to the summit and know they aren't going to reach it; and happiness then is looking down and enjoying the view they've got, not envying the one they haven't.

About This Quote

When you are young, you think that you are going to have a successful career in your chosen field. You are probably going to be promoted to the top of the corporate ladder and on top of the mountain. However, if you don't have that faith that you are going to reach the top of your chosen field, then you may never start climbing. When you realize that you aren't going to reach the top of your chosen field, then it is time to stop looking up at the mountain and enjoy what you have achieved already.
