She knew she could answer it. She knew how to put one foot in front of the other even when every step hurt. And she knew there was pain in the journey, but there was also great beauty.

I took off my sweatshirt and dropped it on the grass and set off around the track. As soon as I started running, the world changed. The bodies spread out across the green of the football field were parts of a scene remembered, not one real at this moment. The secret of effort is to keep on, I told myself. Not for the world would I have stopped then, and yet nothing- not even if I had been turned handsome as a reward for finishing- could have made up for the curious pain of the effort. ↗

You can either follow your dreams with determination and persistence until they become true, or you can be blown by the winds of fate - were anything can happen. ↗

To persist with a goal, you must treasure the dream more than the costs of sacrifice to attain it. ↗

The slogans “hang on” and “press on” have solved and will continue to solve the problems of humanity. ↗
