Have Courage



Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
The majority sees the obstacles; the few see the objectives;

History records the successes of the latter,
while oblivion is the reward of the former.

You don't drown by falling in the water;
you drown by staying there.

So wake up and remain vigilant,
no hurt is more than hurting self.

Have courage to overcome all obstacles
without let ups and excuses.
