the way, the only way

Those who do more toward a chosen end,
by unquenchable desire,
by intrepid exploration,
by undying persistence,
by the force of well-focused determination –
~ who invest more time,
~ and make more mistakes,
~ and seek more solutions,
~ and make more corrections than others,
ultimately achieve unparalleled accomplishment.
And running like a golden thread through all this is the final guarantor of success: patience.
