I will go the distance

Ronins were Japanese Samurais who served no masters. They failed to fulfill their duties and thus became outcasts. They did not choose the path of redemption by committing the seppuku or honorable death, and many were branded as cowards. They have chosen to live in exile accepting small jobs as bodyguards and mercenaries for a fee. They aimlessly wander the land looking for ways to regain their honor.

Like the famed Miyamoto Musashi and the 47 ronins, the wandering Samurais helped changed the history of Japan. Many believed that their services does not simply end after a failure and thus continued to live as outcasts, some for years, until they fulfilled what they believed were expected of them, eventually becoming heroes of the land.

Many of us have failed for so many times and like those who did not stop believing, we know that someday we will find the path of redemption and will be able to succeed where we once failed. Like modern Ronins we refuse to give up. We will pick up the pieces of failures and mold them back into new hopes and a new visions. If we are willing to go the distance and find our way to earn back our honor, our heroes welcome will be waiting there somewhere.
