 Before the pinnacle of mount Everest; there was a plethora of barricades to be confronted, 

 
Before plummeting down to the bottom of the fathomless ocean; one had to face a battalion of wild sharks, 
 
Before winning the coveted title of wrestling champion; there was the arduous endeavor of toning a jugglery of muscle, 
 
Before harnessing the art of devouring glass; one had to learn to incessantly consume obdurate food, 
 
Before swimming against choppy waters of the perennial river; one had to acqurie skills of floating in the shallow pool, 
 
Before adroitly sketching articulate forms of scenic beauty; one had to know the art of blending color, 
 
Before reciting mesmerizing notes of melodious music; one had to aware of the cadence of sound, 
 
Before running at swashbuckling speeds in torrential showers of rain; one had to assimilate the vigor to walk, 
 
Before tumultuously bursting into fits of sporadic laughter; one should know how to smile, 
 
Before constructing the grandiloquent Taj Mahal of juxtaposed brick; one must have the skill to build a compact wall, 
 
Before driving a high powered bike through the mountain roads; it was indispensable to posses the prowess of synchronized balance, 
 
Before sculpturing ornate statues to scented wax; one should incorporate the technique of molding clay, 
 
Before beheading a person in war with pugnacious swishes of the scepter; one must have the profound courage to hold one, 
 
Before gliding down the picturesque valley strapped to parachute strings; one should master the ingredients of adventure, 
 
Before encountering the ominous panther head on; one must develop a compassion for the animate beast, 
 
Before gulping down pints of frozen water; one should savor the taste of Luke warm milk, 
 
Before witnessing stupendous parables of jubilation; one must trespass through the tyranny of sorrow, 
 
Before sleeping blissfully on a mattress of silken gold; one should inevitably perspire under the blistering heat of the sun, 
 
Before transiting to realms of uninvited old age; one must experience the exuberance of resplendent youth, 
 
Before dancing in the aisles of passionate romance; one should thoroughly mature in responsibility, 
 
And before the commencing the activities of each day; one must indispensably worship the deity he believes in; praying for celestial solace from the Creator.
