Development
I am a fighter
Yet, I resign
Can be so curious
But the risk I confine
I can be fearful
And fear nothing at all
I want to fly
But I’m afraid of the fall
Life gives us everything
Presents it on a tray
But then we realize
That we stand in our way
Life, please just give me
One thing at a time
I would love to take it
I’d make it all mine
I have to admit
That I do understand
Deep learning requires
To choose and withstand
I fall and I stand up
I’m the creator and the creature
I am the student
And sometimes the teacher

Exactly! As Oliver Goldsmith said: Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall.” Every fall is a step forward in our development actually.
