[QUOTE="beemerdons, post: 925592, member: 4296"] My BMW MOA Friend Bill Conger, Dakar #188, just posted this up on the Adventure Rider Website: [I]Not sure where to begin...but first, thank you to everyone for all the support, well wishes, concern and the Teddy Roosevelt quote. I have been brought to tears several times over the past 24 hours with the reality of failure. I have strived many times to chase different dreams only to always fall short of the goal. I don't regret the chase as it has brought some wonderful life experiences. But failure has a way of beating you down and brings question to why we do the thing we do. During one of my down times on stage I was thinking how foolish this was to think I could pull this off with so little time and money. Then the thought of how much time and money has been spent, I was going to do whatever I could to make in. Once again I came up short. I'm still trying to deal with it. I like to think I have delt with failure well in the past, a little disappointment at first then an even stronger resolve to push on. Currently I feel the failure heavily. I'm sure this will pass. Reading the quote makes feel a little better.[/I] [/QUOTE]
