Reading the Bloomberg article Penny posted reminds me of peaks and valleys I experienced in my career where there have been times when everything seems to go wrong and times when everything seems to go right.

If you are involved in an attempt to achieve something big or a transformational goal as here where a small company seeks to develop the first effective treatment of Alzheimer’s and possibly other devastating CNS diseases, you must develop an attitude that you are willing to walk through the valley of death and fear no evil to obtain that goal. You have to have the courage, persistence and tenacity to get through the darkest of times, and you should always be thinking about what may go wrong when everything appears to be going great.

Anavex is attempting to do things that no one has ever done before. By its very nature, that’s far from easy to do. If it was easy, it would have already been done and done quickly. Don’t be deterred by it taking longer than many expect. Don’t be deterred by setbacks. Keep moving forward. That’s the only way to move or you will never succeed. Lastly, you should never fear that you may fail. If others think or say you have failed, ignore them. Get yourself up and going to try and try again. Do that and you might accomplish what has never been done before.
