Beware!
“People spend their whole lives climbing the ladder of success only to find out, at the top, that the ladder is against the wrong wall.”

Stephen Covey quotes this "ladder" story because it tells us not to take the wrong path for us...

So don't identify too strongly with your role in life.
Find and be yourself too.
