This image is a graphite pencil drawing on white paper, depicting a metaphorical scene. The drawing is situated in Quetta, Pakistan. The composition features a stylized male figure on the left, shown in profile, facing right. He is rendered in a suit with a tie and carries a briefcase in his left hand. His right arm is slightly raised. This figure is ascending a staircase, with his left foot on an upper step and his right foot on a lower step. To the right of the figure, a tall, irregular stack of nine books is depicted, forming a central column. The books vary slightly in thickness, and two visible bookmarks protrude from the spines of the second and fourth books from the bottom. Perched atop the uppermost book is a graduation cap (mortarboard) with a tassel hanging to the right side. The top of the staircase aligns with the upper portion of the book stack, suggesting a connection or continuation. To the far right, hand-lettered text reads: "THE WAY TO Success IS NEVER a STRAIGHT LINE." The word "Success" is rendered in a more decorative, cursive font. Below this text, a winding, dashed-line road or path is drawn, visually reinforcing the accompanying text. The drawing exhibits pencil shading to create depth and texture, particularly on the graduation cap and book spines. The paper shows minor creases and imperfections.
