Those who failed might have been tried very hard indeed, but this doesn't mean that they were moving in right direction. My opinion is that each one can excel, if they really would want it, put a lot into it, would be willing to constantly learn from their mistakes. As for the poem… Liked it very much. I think I can get that feeling myself sometimes. But—it's been said a lot that the way itself should be the end goal, not destination. Otherwise such pessimism would be inevitable. Don't look to get to ‘another land, another sea’. Enjoy the journey.
