A Name Worth Knowing

 "Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness" - Napoleon Hill

  To be able to find their sacred land, Aeneas suffered a lot. To be able to found the new Rome, to provide his fellow men a place worth living, he sacrificed a lot. But through it all, he was able to pull himself together and fulfill their destiny. Choosing to hold on and not to lose it all proved that he was a hero from the start. Determination overcomes the fear and cowardice he had, Aeneas was still a human, after all. He never had an easy life. He lost so many. But losing something taught him to be strong. It taught him to fight for what really is his, and for a great reason. Sacrificing taught him how cruel life is, that nothing is free, nothing is easy. Although his mother is a goddess, he suffered like the others. And then the things that he learned made him who he was when he founded the great Rome. 
  
  Experience is the best teacher in life after all. Mistakes are not there for us to cry, to regret, to lose hope and lose ourselves in the process. Its purpose why it was placed in our path is to teach us to fight and to be a better person in the future. Same goes for Aeneas, a name really worth knowing.
