Courage is knowing that you are doomed to lose before you start, but you still do it without hesitation and stick to it no matter what happens. A person rarely wins, but there will always be a time to win.

Persistence is victory, even if it is failure in the end. I especially like watching marathons. Many people don't win the championship because they know how strong they are.

But there are still many people willing to participate, just to challenge themselves and prove that they can finish the race. Even if they finally arrive, they are happy, because there are still many people who give up halfway. What they have to do is to overcome themselves.
