Life is a battle. It is a battle with oneself. If we lose, we cannot experience the joy of having lived to the best of one's ability. We will only be left with regret, remorse and unhappiness.
It is my fervent wish that each one of you can be victorious in your own special way, and feel pride in having done your very best.
