Wherever you are in your journey, I hope you, too, will keep encountering challenges. It is a blessing to be able to survive them, to be able to keep putting one foot in front of the other-to be in a position to make the climb up life's mountain, knowing that the summit still lies ahead. And every experience is a valuable teacher.

We must go on and on like the gun-horses, till we drop.

Of course I would have preferred success; but failing in that, I have no regrets for having rejected all advice to the contrary, and resolutely made the struggle.

If you can't fly, run; if you can't run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.

If something's important enough, you should try. Even if the probable outcome is failure.

Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going, because a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive.
