i see this in you and i think you have what it takes to finish golden.

“Patience, he thought. So much of this was patience - waiting, and thinking and doing things right. So much of all this, so much of all living was patience and thinking.”  - Gary Paulsen

And for me to learn:

“ The word patience means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situation out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us "- Henri Nouwen 

sometimes I think I am afraid of losing, but really, what it is: just my foolish pride.
