"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

                               Theodore Roosevelt 26th president of US (1858 - 1919)
I really like this quote as it stirs something inside me. It wills me to dare and overcome the obstacles along the way to success. Too often we are faced with an arduous task and we get busy planning how to attack it. By the time we start we are already exhausted.

Even a perfect plan will not guarantee success.

Let me state here that there is, for me, a clear distinction between failure, quitting and attempting to succeed. If you set out with no a plan then you are bound to fail. If you stop trying then quitting is your choice. Success is the hardest of these three and you will have to endure the failure to get there.

If you have focal endurance then you are bound to succeed in whatever you do.

Whether you fail or succeed is all in your hands. In quitting you have failed only yourself. Your success may not come in completing the task but in the journey itself.
