To quote a line from Strategies of the Warring States, “Even if you finish 90 miles of a 100-mile journey, you are still only halfway.” (In a 100-mile journey, 90-mile is no more than 50)
People stop at 90 miles usually for a flash of trivial idea.
Outside voices and judgments have shaken your confidence and made you unable to defend yourself against doubts. You let yourself succumb to temptations and slack your efforts. You begin to question yourself: have I made the wrong choice? I have given up so much, but for what?
Do you remember the reason why you started?
The reason why you embark on this journey even though those around you fail to understand you.
The exact reason why you should not give up now.
It’s not easy to make a start. When you look back and retrospect the courage that made you begin, then the mist clouding before your eyes will clear away and you will know that your direction is forward.
