different types of peaks?

i wonder, when i'm striving for a particular goal, am i hoping just to complete it, or i think i'll gain something new once i get there?

when i hike up a particular peak, more often than not i'm just wondering if there's anything else to see. of course, there are those massive ones i'm happy just to reach it. by the time i get to the top, the view's only so-so, or there's no time to savor the moment, and i need to rush back down.

i need both types of goals, i suppose, but i might be better off focusing on ones that offer a better view of life if and when i get there? or, things are too hard to predict so i can never tell which kinds of experience end up with better views?
