The Penrose Stairs
A Penrose Stairs is a two-dimensional depiction of a staircase in which the stairs make four 90-degree turns as they ascend or descend yet form a continuous loop, so that a person could climb them forever and never get any higher.
This is clearly impossible in three dimensions; the two-dimensional figure shown above achieves this paradox by distorting perspective. Penrose Stairs is the first impossible object ever made.
For long time, this stair was a mystery for me, but later I came to know, it was just a graphical trick.
Climbing on Penrose Stairs :
Many says that chasing for Victory is just like climbing on Penrose Stairs,
But then I remember the famous saying of Louis L'Amour that "Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more".
Believe that there are no Penrose Stairs in your life, hard work may not always get you to the top, but it will get you pretty near.
