In 1888, William Williams Keen became one of the first surgeons to successfully remove a brain tumor. 

A big win. It's true. You can look it up. 

What's harder to find, however, are stories of all the times old Double Billy K tried to pull a tumor out of a brain and lost. 

The losses must have happened. 

The key, though, win or lose, is to never fail.

And the only way to fail is not to fight. 

So you fight until you can't fight anymore. Hold up your head and enter the arena and face the enemy. Fight until you can't fight anymore. Never let go. Never give up. Never run. Never surrender.

Fight the good fight. 

You fight. Even when it seems inevitable that you're about to go down swinging. 

Why do we even try when the barriers are so high and the odds are so low? Why don't we just pack it in and go home? It would be so, so much easier.

It's because in the end, there's no glory in easy. No one remembers easy. They remember the blood and the bones and the long, agonizing fight to the top.

 And that is how you become legendary.
