This prompt is similar to the one I wrote yesterday, the major objective is making progress. Climbing to the top requires you to take steps forward. The more steps you take, the closer you get to the top. And of course, the steps must be positive steps.

Reaching the top reminds me of a related topic I learnt when I was in College about Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It shows the priority of human needs from the necessary to the superabundant, and this is done through the steps taken from the least to the top.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory that proposes a model of human motivation based on a pyramid of five levels of needs: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. The theory suggests that individuals are motivated to fulfill lower-level needs before they can progress to higher-level needs. Link

Most people aim for the top but get tired on the way. Some change their mind, others give up and remain where they are or turn back. Reaching the top takes courage and perseverance, there will obstacles on your way but it should not stop you from reaching the top.

Finally, while trying trying to reach the top we should not forget that it is a journey and not all about the destination. Try to enjoy the process too. As you take steps to reach the top, enjoy the journey as a whole, because when you get to the top, that's it. It is the journey that makes the top what it is, without the journey, it's just another target to meet. So, don't be miserable while reaching the top but be energetic, be courageous and have fun too. This way, you will have a good story to tell those coming behind you. Reaching the top is worth it when you are full of life till you get there.

Thank you for your time...
