The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones. Confucius was not the first nor the last person to arrive at that concept, but Methos must say his phrasing has so far been the best.
Here's it another way: Live. Grow stronger. Fight another day.
Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking potential. Taking one more breath, having one more thought, lasting one more minute. Enduring. Surviving. A dead man never has an idea. A dead man never paints a picture or invents a machine. A dead man is simply dead. But an alive man – oh! The possibilities! An alive man can create; an alive man can destroy. He can sing and dance and inspire and detract. He can be the pebble on the mountain that when shaken loose causes an avalanche.
It is life that leads to progress and invention, that unlocks human's potential to build miracles and reshape reality. Methos intends to keep on living to see it.
