The story is told of a group of children who had a contest to see who
could climb to the top of a tall ladder.  One after the other, the
children climbed about half way, became frightened, and gave up.
Only one boy managed to make it to the top.

His grandfather asked him, "How did you accomplish what the others
couldn't?"  The little boy answered, "The other children kept looking
down as they climbed the ladder, thus, realizing how high they were they
became
frightened.   I, on the other hand, continuously kept looking up and
realized how low I was so I wanted to go higher and higher.  This is 
why I was able to reach the top."
