Proper motivation can climb any mountain

A story of Motivation that I wanted to share.



In a mountainous country, a town in the lowlands constantly feuded with bandits living on a high peak. One dark day the mountain bandits came down and attacked the lowland town, kidnapping a baby and escaping to their hideout high above.


The lowlanders had to rescue the child, but none of them had ever climbed the mountain before, knew what trails the mountain people used, or were sure of where the bandits lived. Nonetheless, they sent out their bravest fighting men to bring the baby home.

The band tried to climb the mountain for days, but after many days of futile attempts, they reluctantly had to admit defeat. Dejected, they decided to return to their village below with the sad news.

But as they were packing up their gear, they saw the baby’s mother walking down the mountain—the mountain they hadn’t been able to climb more than a few hundred feet—with her child strapped securely to her back.

The leader greeted her joyfully. “How were you able to climb to the peak when we, the strongest and most able men in the village, couldn’t do it?” The woman shrugged her shoulders. “It wasn’t your baby.”
