Courage is what you earn when you've been through the tough times and you discover they aren't so tough after all.
Malcolm Gladwell
It wasn't an excuse. It was a fact. He'd had to make his way alone, and no one - not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires, and not even geniuses - ever makes it alone.
