There's a famous poem by Charles Bukowski entitled "Throwing the Dice" that says:

If you are going to try, go all the way.
Otherwise don't even start.

We start from action, from doing, from betting. Playing can mean losing or winning. If we are going to try, let's do it until the end, let's leave traces. You are made for a goal, you have a goal! The gift that God gave you cannot be despised with doubt. Your voice and the word as weapons are your flag. It is true that in the race that is life, there will always be comparison, competition. The higher you are in the tree, the higher you want to get, and perhaps the more alone you are. But let the branches be your company, the fruits of that tree that you are, the most juicy, the greatest. You are a man of talent, @rok-sivante, and that is a prize. You earned it! God bless you
