A wise gentleman fully understands that success is not precipitated by large, unrealistic swings at achieving desired goals. In reality, rather, the process can be an unexciting and laborious journey. He will face a myriad of challenges and failures that will steel his resolve. Therefore, an intelligent gentleman understands that success owes a portion of its existence to winning on the margins. He recognizes that small, deliberate, and incremental action can result in overall positive outcomes. Do not be mistaken, the small wins definitely count. The value of each peripheral win elicits meaningful reflection and deep gratitude. The gentleman understands that life’s bigger picture is a portrait painted with pain, purpose, and prosperity. Celebrate the small victories because victory is still in fact – victory.
