Always remember: in the hour of triumph, friends and kin gather close, their voices warm with praise; yet in defeat, one fades into a mere name once heard, a distant relation in memory. The victorious are lifted high, hailed as leaders of the family, while the fallen are left in the shadows, seated low and seldom seen.
To be born low is no crime, but to remain there and die poor is a failing of will. Determination, character, and success are the three pillars upon which one must build a life of worth.
