Mt. Apo Climb 2022! Mountain Climbing Mirrors The Cycle Of Human LIfe!

Mountain climbing is the depiction of the cycle of our lives.
Ang pag-akyat ng bundok at parang salamin ng ating mga buhay.
We start out in life by setting goals and working hard to reach the peak.
At the top, we come to realize how small we are compared to the world and that in life, the ladder up will always have the last rung.
Merong huling baitang ang hagdanan pataas at wala nang aakyatin pa pagdating mo doon.
It is lonely at the top especially if you are alone and there is no other way to go but come down to where you started.
There are very important lessons in mountain climbing, as in life.
1. Don’t rush. Huwag kang magmadali. Your life’s goals will be constant and mountains won’t go away;
2. Be careful not to slip but if you do, just hang on and avoid falling deep into the cliffs and ravines of life;
3. Look up and focus on your goals and avoid looking back because it will make you dizzy and slow your climb;
4. Do not pull down the climbers ahead of you because if he falls, he will bring you down.
5. Pull up and help those lagging behind you because they hold you up when you slip;
6. At the top, do not be a braggart because you are not the only one who had been there. Thank God for the strength and the perseverance He gave you;
7. Coming down, be humble and realize that there is an end to every journey in life and everything has to go back to where it started;
8. Share your wisdom to those who are climbing up as you are going down and warn them of the pitfalls and the slips along the trail.
This is how we should live, just like how we climb the mountains of life.
