Persistence

Sure, they told you that you only have fifty yard of steps in front of you before you'd fall off a sheer cliff, but are you going to listen to them? Listening is for quitters. Quitting is for quitters. Not hurdling over police barricades that read "Warning! Sheer Cliff Ahead!" is for quitters. Sure, you could have stopped at the abyss's edge, but the difference between those willing to stop before the precipice and you is PERSISTENCE. You're going up those stairs, and then, very rapidly, you're heading straight to the earth, because that is was MEN do. We'll see you at the bottom, sir. Soldier on, you persistent bastard.
