Our ideals resemble the stars, which illuminate the night. No one will ever be able to touch them. But the men who, like sailors on the ocean, take them for guides, will undoubtedly reach their goal.
-Carl Schurz
As I stood on that podium ready to receive my diploma many wonderful moments came to mind, and with a deep breath I thought...one more step...
Can you recall the moment when you thought 'This is the climax of my career/life'?
If you can, when was that?
Let me tell you one thing: if your life has truly reached its climax then what awaits you is the cruel reality of your realization that you will not live a happy life. At least not until you realize each mountaintop is but the top of one of many mountains you will explore in life. It all depends on your desire to reach a new goal, to achieve something different every time.
Smile with each achievement, but to not let it cloud your mind to make you think you're at your best and that's all there is to it. Don't accept life just as it is, for life will definitely not accept you just as you are.
Strive, fight, grow, be the best you can be, rest, and once again...strive, fight, grow, to be the best that you can ever be.
Lesson learned: In order to make my life worthwhile I will do my best to graduate from life itself with honors.

Congratulations on this achievement..., let's see what's next!
That's all there is to it, that's the way to go. Most think that reaching their "hardest" goal its being at the top... but not us. We know there is more road ahead, we know that our journey is barely starting.
Just look from that mountain top that you are now, and look for the next mountain to conquer.
That's us! Plain achievers, looking to conquer as many mountains as possible in this lifetime.
Message to the world: hold on tight, cause here we come...

Congrats, bro, on your well-deserved achievement. It is clear that you are self-motivated to continue challenging and improving yourself, and that the outcomes are your rewards.
Not everyone is so motivated. For some, happiness lies on a less arduous path. And yet every life experience is valid and should be respected. We are all on journeys to joy, and our various paths teach us in different ways.
