Unconquered Spirit

Unconquered spirit is the most admirable achievement; it is the life blood of all. To get from the start to the finish is a great distance. In any worthwhile task there will always be times of stagnation, defeat, or some effect that compromises the forward momentum. Those who wind up derailed are often not finished or forced to end, but rather quit. A man left with nothing, but still focused on a vision or end is still in the race. Leaders, even when forced to detour, are laying a path to the prize. Life is a marathon; not a 50 yard dash. The man ahead in the first mile generally peters out. Rather the man who can still surge on the last leg, even when not in first, is the man of unconquered spirit.
