Very interesting writeup, concise and straight to the point.
You know what they say about good things not coming easy, such can be liken to honey.
Honey is sweet and trust me almost everybody likes and enjoy honey.
Honey has everything good in it, from promoting health to curing some diseases and what have you, yet to get honey is difficult and comes with a lot of hardwork.
Just like you mentioned, persistence and determination are the keyword to achieving good things in life, and of course great team work pays alot.
