The only way you’ll ever fail the people around you or yourself is if you give up. If you get back on your feet and you try again, you’re not failing, even if the result seems to be no different than the first. What’s important is that you didn’t just call quits. What matters is that you decided to take another chance at it. You’ll find out that in time, things will work out and you’ll get more opportunities. Eventually, you will get what you want. Even if things don’t look so great right now, it doesn’t mean life will always be like this. There will be better days, I promise. Hang in there.

It’s a simple word that most know yet few possess. And for those of us who have it, there are obstacles, barriers, walls put up to hinder and destroy progress.

But we must proceed, we must push, we must persevere. Because to advance means to struggle. It is meant to test our passion, our knowledge, and our heart. So we must put everything we have into the endeavor. We must lose ourselves in the cause, or else the cause may be lost to all.

The stakes are high, but more than anything, we cannot fear failure. We cannot lose focus or drive. We cannot stand still.

We can never give up. Ever.
