        There were two warring tribes in the Andes, one that lived in the lowlands and the other high in the mountains. The mountain people invaded the lowlanders one day, and as part of their plundering, they kidnapped a baby of one of the lowlander families and took the infant with them back up to the mountain.

        The lowlanders didn't know how to climb the mountain. They didn't know any of the trails that the mountain people used, and they didn't know where to find the mountain people or how to track them in the steep terrain.

        Even so, they sent out their best party of fighting men to climb the mountain and bring the baby home.

          The men tried first one method of climbing and then another. They tried one trail and then another.     After several days of effort, however, they had climbed only several hundred feet. Feeling hopeless and helpless, the lowlander men decided that the cause was lost, and they prepared to return to their village below.

           As they were packing their gear for the descent, they saw the baby's mother walking towards them. They realized that she was coming down the mountain that they hadn't figured how to climb. And then they saw that she had the baby strapped to her back. How could that be?

         One man greeted her and said, "We couldn't climb this mountain. How did you do this when we, the strongest and most able men in the village, couldn’t do it?"

              She shrugged her shoulders and said, "It wasn't your baby!"

         The road to the top isn't a question of talents and capabilities! The top is fall of people with ordinary talents but extraordinary PASSION, and people with ordinary capabilities but deep rooted COMPASSION. It isn't about what is in your mind; it is about what is in your heart!!
