At Least I Tried – The Entrepreneur Poem

There’s great risk in trying. You could fail. You could lose your life savings.

But, until you try, you will never know what you’re truly capable of. Greatness reveals itself through adversity – when you are tested, when your back is up against the wall, when survival is all that matters.

For those who have tried, on your deathbed, will you lay there regretting that you went for it and failed? Or, will you think, “At least I tried.”

---

I was afraid when I tried

So much on the line.

But I overcame my fright

And tried with all my might.

If I fail, I will know

That I gave it a go.

What is life, after all?

But taking a leap,

knowing you could fall.

When you’re old and near death

Closing in on your final breath,

you can look to the sky and say,

At Least I Tried.
