Practice not being too literal # 28
As my title says, I am trying to learn to not be literal in translations, so every day I will post a saying in English and ask for suggestions as to how to convey the thought in Spanish. At the end of the day, I will pick the answer that I think most accurately reflects the idea, and I will choose it as best answer for 20 points to the respondent.
Today's phrase is, "Climb every mountain."
Good luck and enjoy!

Accept every challenge. Acepta cada desafía.
I have been looking for a saying in Spanish which could translate the spirit of "climb every mountain", but I'm not satisfied with anyone.
This is wich I like more:
"Si te caes siete veces, levántate ocho" - If you fall seven times, get up eigth.
Also, I may be somethin along the lines of: "nunca te rindas" -never give up.
However, I think the meaning is not exactly the same. I would suggest you to explain a little the meaning of the saying that you are choosing to make it easier for the Spanish natives.
No matter how hard the task don't let it defeat you. No importa cómo está la tarea no deje que le derrote.
Climb every mountain means "escala cualquier montaña" that in other words it means "Atrévete a cualquier reto que se te presente en la vida".
