... who dares he can, who know no fear, goes forward.
-Fieldmarshal Zivojin Misic
This amazing quotation is something what I would love to talk about today. This is one of the most famous quotations from one of the most important persons in whole Serbian history. I am sure that most of you have heard about him already, because he is one of the most interesting persons from the World War I. His strategy was really amazing, Serbian arny won in many battles thanks to it, and nowadays students are learning about his strategy on almost every single military academy in the whole world.
But, today I would not love to talk about how good this man was in army, I would love to talk about this quotation.
(Of course, if you are interested into strategy made by Zivojin, or about his life, you can find many interesting factds about him on the Internet and in almost every history book, also, if you would love to read some interesting facts about Zivojin and some other interesting people from Serbian history, please let me know that, I can write some articles about them.)
This quotation is showing us the point of life. You do not have to be soldier, you do not have to be in war. You just have to dare. If you dare, you will keep going forward and you will take what is yours. You will get to your goal. If you do not dare, you will not get anywhere.
Life is risk. There are so many risky things, all around of us. So many things that are dangerous or that can lead to something dangerous, but you must keep going forward. You myst try. If you try, you can fall or you can fly. If you do not try, maybe you will not fall, but for sure you will not fly.
That is why you owe to yourself to try. To dare, to risk.
Even if you fall, that is okay. Failure is an option, but not trying is not an option. No matter how many times you fall, you have to try one more time. Again and agaion, untill you get where you want to be.
What I am trying to say is to do not give up. No matter how hard or difficult it is. No matter how weak you are. No matter how strong the oponent is. You can do it. You can do everything, just if you keep fighting. If you keep going.
You do not know how much you can, until you do it. You do not know how strong you are, until you decide that being strong is your only option.
You can give up at any moment, but, before you give up, try. One more time, and one more time, and one more time...
The Grand Duke, the great man. He was very respectful in his service and in his state.
