The world is cruel enough not to regard efforts as much as achievements...

And all there is left to do is try again... and achieve something. Second chances in everything are rare, so make the most out of everything. But what if one simply cannot accomplish what one desires, even if the most significant effort is placed on reaching out towards the goal?

Lose.

Fail.

And be stepped upon by the achievements of others. The world does not care what you try to do; it's what you accomplish that matters the most.
