“The acceptance of reaching out to other people to help us is also important,” says the climber. No one achieves success by working alone. Although sometimes it is difficult to assimilate it, we have to know how to count on others, while we also help others.

The author explains that those who fight for their goals have an essential feeling that there is no choice between a status quo and a future state. Consider that there is actually a choice between two future states and that only perseverance can influence which of them is going to move. (I)
