This is so true. From God who creates the rain to grow the hay. To the farmer harvesting the hay. Then we see it shipped off to all the buyers. To take home and have this fed to their horses.PM

So true. To focus and take steps, everyday, towards your goal also helps. A wonderful little reminder to us all to keep our glory goals heading to the finish line. Cheers, j

Excellent message in your six well chosen words. It takes a lot of effort to prepare for one moment of possible glory. Glory can also be snatched away so quickly as we saw yesterday in the Kentucky Derby. But sill, there is no chance for glory unless there is effort and a lot of it.

So true. You've managed to speak volumes in six words! Fitting that I read it today, too, after the Kentucky Derby yesterday, which left many of us confounded. Best wishes in the contest!

I know. I found that one of the saddest moments ever. That jockey, who'd just gotten done saying, "This is a dream come true," and the trainer, who was following in his older brother's footsteps...and then BOOM! The dream becomes a nightmare. Very sad.

Those are very very good six words especially when you put them together like that!! And the Kentucky Derby was so weird this year... Good job! And continue sharing with us.

You have made excellent, powerful use of all your words in this strong
statement of truth. That which is handed to us pales in comparison to that which we earn.

You've said a mouthful here. If you want to be successful and reach for the high ground, it's gonna require persistence as you've expressed so well. Also, it's lonely at the top and very few want to strive for excellence. I like the message and how well you've brought it forth in so few words. Well done and good luck in the contest!
