I'll tell you a riddle. You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter." Inception.

Difficulty rises like a steep mountain.
With gritty dirt,
Treacherous hills to hike,
And loose stones to stumble upon.
Push forward.
Trudge through unpleasant surroundings.
Begin with the end in mind.
Reach the top,
Plant your flag.
Carpe diem.
