1) What does one do when hope is lost?
When it can not always be found?
When nothing else seems promising?
Then what? What else is there?
Where can hope then be found?

2) If we go forward, we shall die in the battlefields and fights ahead.

3) If we stop, we will soon die standing here.

4) If we go backwards, we shall die where we started, erasing all our hard work in blood, sweat, and tears.

5) So, let us struggle on, and go forward, and die like women and men of courage, striving for our vision's highest goals. That means, not arrested or resting in development, but one of unlimited Growth and Development.

Note: Embellishment of Malidoma Some's West African proverb: "Let Us Go Forward"

"If we go forward we die,
If we go backward, we die.
So let's go forward and die."
