When you're climbing at high altitudes, life can get pretty miserable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Life's a bit like mountaineering - never look down.
If I know I make this much trouble, I never climb Everest.
I may climb perhaps to no great heights, but I will climb alone.
The cliche is that life is a mountain. You go up, reach the top and then go down.
I was never comfortable with the risk of climbing in the Himalayas, or the amount of time in idleness that is involved in the Everest expedition.
Your attitude towards failure determines your altitude after failure.
In some ways, climbing in the clouds is comforting. You can no longer see how high off the ground you are.
With ideas it is like with dizzy heights you climb: At first they cause you discomfort and you are anxious to get down, distrustful of your own powers; but soon the remoteness of the turmoil of life and the inspiring influence of the altitude calm your blood; your step gets firm and sure and you begin to look - for dizzier heights.
I feel like I'm climbing as well, if not better, than ever.
Attitude determines the altitude of life.
