"Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere." - Barack Obama
"Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly." -Robert F. Kennedy
"You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments, or publicity." -Thomas Wolfe

I have a really hard time watching people excel while i stay in the shadows. However, i need to remember that their success is encouraging and an inspiration. A real life example that the success i desire is obtainable. When my time has come i will find success. I will. Till then, the failure i feel is momentary weakness and my drive will triumph over it in the end.
