I never saved anything for the swim back

"I never saved anything for the swim back", it was Vincent's belief that moved Jerome, and it was this kind of persistence that allowed him to win his younger brother with excellent genes time and time again.
"I got the better end of the deal, I only lent you my body, you lent me your dream!"
There are too many things we can't control, and many times, along the way of pursuing the ideal, it is bloody at a glance! As soon as we succeed, our bones will die, and perhaps we will miss out. The humble fate will always step on us to the ground, and we are only worthy of being one of the bones that will look up to our feet. Even so, should we give up? ? Is it really? ?
Never ever try to give up your dream! ! Because that is cowardly behavior. . .
That sentence has never left me: giving up is the biggest failure. . . . .
If you want to win, you must have the determination to die. . .
