Yes, it may be hard to drive forward having many obstacles and potholes without hope to scale through but if one should because of the obstacles at front decides not to move, such person will die being stagnant and such person can't be remembered.
But if one should take a step regardless of the roughness and toughness of the road to greatness, such person still has hope. It's better to die trying than not taking any step at all.
Thanks sir @akintunde for the piece.
