Epic of a Champion: 

 The road taken is that which is necessary for competition.  And through the course obstacles challenge but never defeat; limitations known yet never accepted; doubt occurs but never destroys; talent exists yet mentality separates.   Many will attempt the travel, few staying dedicated till the end.  The end is known only to the champion for his standards are not measured against others, rather only himself.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himsilf in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat."
