A few weeks ago, when I took my daughter and her friend to a play, I came across a plaque posted on one of the walls with an inspiring quote. I did not take note, as I was sure I will be able to Google it and find it. Well – I failed.
So next time my daughter went to the same theater, I asked her to take note of the name of the guy who is being quoted. I got lucky and I got a picture of the plaque – which you see on the right.
As the quote is attributed to Alfred Mond, 1st Baron Melchett but when I tried to find the English quote version, I found out that the it was written by a guy called Harold v. Melchert (which I could not find anything about…).
However, no matter who wrote it, I think this is a beautiful life motto – so here is the English origin for those who do not read Hebrew:
Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey.
Have a nice life !
