He gets passing grades and he doesn’t even have to try
He is content with second-best because he knows it will get
him by
But the one thing he may never learn
is that some things have to be earned
And you will eventually fail if your goal is only to survive
Our dream must be for more than simply being comfortable in
life
We will not persevere very long without a better future in
mind
Sometimes the best thing you can become
is discontent with what you’ve
known
You will eventually fail if your goal is only to survive

ReplyDeleteonly surviving is a really miserable way to live, LIVE I say, LOVE I say, FAIL if you need to, but don't do it because it's easy, do it because you need to in order to get back up.
