  18. Choose the mountain you want to climb. Don’t be influenced by what other people say: “that one’s prettier” or “that one looks easier”.

  20. Find out how to reach the mountain. Often you can see the mountain in the distance – beautiful, interesting, full of challenges. However, … what seems clear on the map is far more complicated in reality… try all the paths and tracks until, one day, you find yourself before the peak … “Like the Flowing River” Paulo Coelho (2006)
