When You Reach the Summit
People look up at the mountain
and all hope to reach the summit.
But once they have given their all and reached the top,
what they all do is look down at the foot of the mountain,
wondering who is coming up to this summit
and who is going down from it to the bottom.
Because that is all they keep in their hearts, they are unhappy even at the top.
But when you reach the summit,
bend very low and do not lift your head.
If you keep low and, with a humble heart,
show people the way up to the summit,
who would envy you
for being at the top?
Always keep yourself low and be humble.
