We were never born to stagnate. We were never created to crumble. We were brought to planet earth to conquer and to overcome.

And so when your enemy surrounds you – that is the time  to take up arms and declare war. Wild animals know this, for a wild animal, when it is backed into a corner – this is when it is most vicious. For it knows that there is only one way out of their predicament and that is to go forward.
