Those who keep trying and eventually succeed, will never understand the pain of those who keep trying and never succeed.

It is easy to say that efforts beget success. At least, those who succeeded can easily say that. And if a person really died trying, the best result he/she ever have at his funeral were words of praises for his determination.

Well, leave the flattery to the dead man. There's nothing that person can do when he's alive, even if he has the spirit.
