Why I chose the quote and the picture.

"There must be a beginning to any great matter, but continuing unto the end until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory" Francis Drake
That is the real quote, but I had to cut it to get it to fit in the title.
The quote says that completing the journey is what matters. If you give up half way through, you will receive nothing, but if you complete it, you will get the rewards. Even if you don't get any physical rewards, you will get plenty of mental ones.
I chose this picture to go with the quote because it signifies a journey. This ship could be on a journey to get through the storm, but it is turning away because it thinks it cannot complete the journey.
