amat victoria curam

It is a phrase written on a side of Harry Mc Kenna's beloved gun. When he died by his friend, Arthur, the gun accidentally inherited by his son, Steven. Shortly, i found it in "Mechanic", a brutal action movie which is actually a remake from 1972 Charles Bronson movie with the same name. And i will not tell you about the movie, it just fine.

"Amat Victoria Curam" is a famous Latin phrase means literally “Victory loves the care”, that is “Victory likes careful preparation” or more loosely “Victory favors those who take pains”, since victory falls to those who prepare it carefully.

This phrase shocked me and makes me remember. Nowadays, i begin to plan improperly. I prefer to act impulsively. The worst, i almost forget the feel of having a big dream and struggle with all of my heart to achieve it. I almost loose the passion.

Routine build a new character of me and, in some aspects, it almost completely different from an older me. It's not wrong. It just weird. It feels like a stranger living in your body and slowly consume your soul, change it to a new one.

Honestly, i missed an older me: being caring, passionate and all out.

I know, i can't escaped from my current life so i would never ask myself to be a coward. I will face it bravely and make myself proud. In the other side, i will find my lost soul. Simply, I will enjoy my life... responsibly.
