Expectations, disappointments and regrets

Are often part of the cocktail

Which knocks us over

Into great darkness and despair

---

As we tirelessly put great efforts and try

Yet, things still go awry

Reminding us at every step

To stay determined  and persevere

---

It’s not always easy to tackle adversity

Still, surmounting the challenges and obstacles

Bring great satisfaction

And a sense of self-realization

---

Just keep going!

Have trust in your abilities

As we feel humbled and grateful

For the opportunity to just keep on trying
