Over time, as you gain experience and new skills, you work your way up your “career mountain” until you reach the top of that mountain. In the Public Service, you become the Permanent Secretary (PS), in the Private Sector you become the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company or State Owned Enterprise (SOE).
These positions are at the top of those organizations and companies. But to reach the top, you have to start at the bottom and climb your way up. Along the way, you meet your future partner and start a family at the bottom of a new mountain, your “family mountain”. At your wedding, you celebrate with family and friends.
