Be stubborn

 Be stubborn in the face of the adversary

And take pride

In letting the uninitiated 

Get accustomed to the singing of your untamed spirit.

Refuse to surrender

Or bow before insolent might.

Let the unwavering flame within you 

Continue to burn as brightly as you desire

And never let the winds of doubt 

Extinguish it. 

Be stubborn and resolute in your pursuits, 

And let no one sway your resolve.

Better to be the realist who says the world is terrible, 

Then the naïve optimist 

who says the world is wonderful 

while turning a blind eye to the abounding falsity. 

Let not the naysayers erode your will, 

But instead, let their words fuel your fire.

Your beliefs are the roots

That anchor your character

The compass that points you in the right direction 

And guides your journey through life. 

So, march on, steadfast, in pursuit of greatness,

 And let no setback dampen your spirit's flame.

Let the world see your greatness 

And never sell yourself short
