So, recently I started something that's really important to me. Maybe one of the most important thing's in my life. It's also going to be the hardest thing I've ever done. I don't know whether or not I'll succeed or just crash and burn. The odds seem impossible sometimes, but I guess that's just what makes victory all the sweeter when/if that happens.

I guess that just got me in a bit of a mood.

Post your best papes about overcoming in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. I'll start with what I've got.
