All the children climbed half way up, and he was the only child who climbed all the way to the top. Afterwards, his grandfather, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, who was standing by the window watching, asked him, “Why is it that you were not afraid to climb to the top when all your friends gave up?” He answered, “Simple. I never looked down. I just kept looking up. When I saw how I low I was that motivated me to climb higher.” The original Ladder Story (source)
