“Keep your eye fixed on the way to the top,
but don’t forget to look right in front of you.
The last step depends on the first.
Don’t think you’re there just because you see the summit.
Watch your footing,
be sure of the next step,
but don’t let that distract you from the highest goal.
The first step depends on the last.”
René Daumal
