Tentative efforts
lead to tentative outcomes.
Therefore give yourself fully
to your endeavors.
Decide to construct your character
through excellent actions.
Determine to pay the price
of a worthy goal.
The trials you encounter
will introduce you to your strengths.
Remain steadfast. . .
And one day you will build
something that endures:
Something worthy
of your potential.
