the hill

when you push too hard for that little difference between getting what you want and what you can;t get, something had to give somewhere and getting what you want was not always worth the cost of what was lost. opportunity cost and the law of diminishing returns.



********************************************



something i remembered,


"why do we always want high ground?"

"a better view, better defence and better firing position"

"thats right. right now you;re standing in a valley and you can;t see very much. down and dark. really depressing man."

"don;t i know it"

"so we;ll have to get up that hill, don;t we? if we want to get a better view of things, be in a better position to get on with our lives"

"assualting a hill is never easy"

"don;t i know it......i took the hill"

"what?"

"you must want to take the hill, God, you must want to. life is full of hills we have to take. some are big, some are little. and to some extent we can choose which ones we will fight for, which we will let go of. but there;s one that we have to take, again and again and again."

"which is?"

"its called the hill after every failure"

"its going to be painful"

"every hill ever worth taking was painfull too"

"and when i have taken the hill after every failure?

"i hope you will not stop. there are many more to go"

"never ends does it"

"no, it shouldn;t, not if dreams meant anything and not if life was to be worth living"
