Many people want to climb the mountain of greatness, almost everyone wants to be the great in what she/he does but it is always the few of the few that make it to the top of the mountain. This is because it is that few of the few that really knows what it takes to climb the mountain. The few know what to do and when, Nalson Mandela and the 1st person known for climbing mount everest to the top (Sir Edmund Percival) knew that climbing the mountain likely require knowing the following:
1: The mountain climber knows that before he climbs, he must prepare his mind first so that it thinks less of going back when it gets more colder as he climbs. So before you even start climbing the mountain to greatness, you must know that it is going to get all cripy as you reach high levels of your career. You will meet cruel people who are always ready to push other people off so that they can get their way. Your mind must know all the cruel things done on the way to the top so that it does not let you go where you have started. You also know that as you go higher, the mountain will look like it has increased, don't let that illusion fool you.
2: Mountain Climbers practise 80 to 90 days when they are going to climb mount everest, this is so that they get their body and breath prepared for the challenges that they might encounter at mount everest. This must also be done by yourself before climbing the mountain to the greatest. You must start by prapring your discipline, your timing and mental strength. You do this by climbing the smaller mountains, like winning awards at school or in community forums. Start with little competitions and make those little archievements before you go for the big one. This will give you much needed strong points to get on to climbing the big mounatin.
3: Your inner strenght also needs to be activated, mountain climbers do not miss doing meditation so that they can activate their inner strenght and also syncronising the spirit with the body, this makes it possible to make whatever that is wanted by the spirit to be the same thing that is wanted by the body. When the spirit wants to go on with the climbing, the body will not say otherwise. So in whatever little time you get, find a peaceful place and meditate, get to do self introspection and carefully deal with your weaknesses and strentghts.
