A man may know what he is... but is that enough?

The key isn't winning or losing. It's making the atempt. I may never be what I ought to be, want to be... But how will I know unless I try?
Sure it's scary, but what's the alternative? Stagnation... A safer, more terrible form of death. Not of the body but of the spirit.
An animal knows what it is and accepts it. A man may know what he is... but he questions. He dreams. He strives. Changes. Grows.
