Conclusion
In the words of Scoutings Founder,
Sir Robert Baden Powell:
"There are two ways of climbing a mountain. One man goes steadily
upward, following the track that has been made by others or has
been pointed out by the guide book; he keeps his eyes fixed on
that track so that he may not miss it; his one determination is to
be successful in getting to the top.
The other climber is equally anxious to reach the top, but he looks
wider. He looks ahead and higher and sees where the former track
may now, owing to wash-outs, etc., be improved upon, and he
varies his course accordingly. Occasionally he pauses to look
around him and to realize the glorious view that is opening and
unfolding itself at every step; thus he gains the spirit of
exhilaration that lightens his task and gives him fresh
encouragement to press on. Then, too, he looks back and realizesthat the foot-hills through which he has laboured are mere mole-
hills now, and he is in a position whence he can wave
encouragement and direction to others, who are still struggling
through the early part of their climb. Thus he pursues his way in
cheery exaltation rather than with the stern laborious doggedness
of the other climber.
So in our work - indeed, in any work of life - we should look forward,
well forward, with high aims and hope; look around with joy andgoodwill; look back with thankfulness at what has been
accomplished and then press on with renewed vigour, with helpful
initiative, and with broadened outlook, towards the highest goal,
not forgetting to give a helping hand to others as we go.
But when you look - lookWIDE; and even when you think you are
looking wide - LOOKWIDER STILL.
