Question

In 4-6 sentences explain what this quote means, I want you to try to think deeper than the surface words and explain how you could apply this to real life: You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again... So why bother in the first place? Just this... What is above knows what is below... but what is below does not know what is above! One climbs... one sees... one descends; one sees no longer... but one has seen! There is an art to conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up... When one can no longer see... one can at least still know. We live by what we have seen!

Answer 1

Answer:

These are my thoughts

Explanation:

To me, this quote means that even when you become successful, you won't always stay that way. It could also mean that even when you become successful you have to keep working to stay there. There are people in this world that work hard every day to make something of themselves while others are gifted that. People that work hard to reach the top understand what it means to work for something and be rewarded with their dream and can still be humble. Others that don't work for it don't understand that so if they were to go to the bottom they wouldn't understand how to deal with it, or work to get back to where they were. Starting from the bottom can teach people a lot of things, just appreciating the little things can make life easier for a person. They will always know how to handle and care for themselves when they have nothing. Going from nothing to something will always make a difference when you can understand or recognize someone else's struggle. Nobody stays at the top forever. Just like the quote says "You cannot stay on the summit forever."
