Never Hit your Peak

Learning is like climbing a mountain. The struggle and pain in taking those initial steps are the most difficult.

As you power through the terrain, you begin to find confidence in your step as you learn the basics.

Then you come to the second level terrain and you realize that it is no longer easy and so learning that terrain becomes your goal. As you keep progressing, you apply what you have learned to the next obstacle, until finally you hit the peak.

At the peak of the mountain you bask in your glory of conquering what seemed to be impossible. It’s a moment to be proud of because you know the amount of work that was necessary.

Then you begin your descent.

Like all descents, its starts slow then spirals out of control really fast if you are not careful.

Like learning you only grow if you keep challenging yourself to new and different things. Constantly seek new opportunities to keep furthering your knowledge and when possible share with others openly.

Never hit your peak, because once you do the only place for you to go is down.
