" Hold Yourself Responsible For A Higher Standard 

Than Anybody Else Expects Of You.

 Never Excuse Yourself"

 - Henry Ward Beecher

what i think this quote means and in my own opinion is that you have to be able to be prepared to fail your not always going to win at some point we are all going to fail whether we like it or not its what we do to prevent failure its your our choice to decide in the future if you tried all you can something good will happen if you didn't try at all and you know what your mistake was its alright there is still all the time in the world to make up for you mistakes that what it means for holding yourself responsible for a higher standard as i was told shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still land on the stars and everyone is going to see how much you shine dont be what others expect you to be surprise them in a way where they wont forget you never say sorry of being who you are it isn't always going to be falling all your life its your choice to go out there and find someone if not find something to catch you your not lading on the ground yet there is still a long way to go  dont finish a race you havent even begun yet there is still more curves and road to explore some are good others are bad yet we need it to prepare for the finish line to finally lived a fullfilled life
