Nothing worth having, comes easily,
you have to make a lot of sacrifices,
along the way. Even though the going
can be rough, you'll appreciate what
you did, one day. When you want to
have something bad enough, all the
sacrifices you made, will pay off for
you in the end. When at times you
thought you'd never be able to make
it, perseverance, was your friend.
Which proves whatever you want to
achieve, there's nothing you cannot
do. Putting in a lot of hard labor,
never killed anybody and I'm sure
you found out, all of the above,
happens to be true!
