Abstract

Those fifteen words aptly sum up the disappointment of failing to achieve a long-held ambition. Yet, perhaps with hindsight, there can be some satisfaction in at least trying to attain that goal rather than not even attempting to reach it. It is a lesson that can be applied in many fields of human endeavor, and as words of wisdom to younger generations.
