"Fortune favors the bold," words uttered by Virgil, ancient Roman Latin poet and author of the epic, Aeneid, are a guide to my path and philosophy of my life. I live a fairly loud life in a remarkably loud city, and in order to really be something in the world, something that stands out and stands for itself, I believe one has to be bold. History has proven that this quote is true, time after time. Men who weren't very great (Napoleon, for instance), but who were bold enough to get what they wanted, were measured later as successful. If I can strike out as bold, hopefully fortune will favor me.
