a fragment from one of my favorite poems...
... translated to English:
Laurels? Do not foolishly demand them. Ascents begins with falls for overreaching spans and large burdens. Thus, from the crest of yonder cliff, The condor of the Andes jumps, and for a moment plummets.
It is a good battle if, at the end, glory shimmers on a warrior’s shield thick with arrows.
- Ode to a Prophet by Salvador Diaz Mirón - Mexican poet

I think you made it quite clear before.
I will give it all the due consideration it deserves.
