Eureka O.O

My aunt inquired my sister and I about my life's motto in 6 words. At first, I was all lost so i crapped something and my sister said I do not possess originality and that I "plagiarized" her...well, it was rather the truth...I'm embarrassed to post what it is >.<  However, after I cracked my tiny brain, this is my true motto:

According to me, tenacity transcends erudition 

 Obsolescent and frumpy you might think but it's a total different story. My perception is that you may gain thumbs-up and people eulogizing you for being knowledgable and shrewd but owning a perseverance of a bull gains the most respect. 2 scenarios, "A" is quick-witted and clinched a multi-million dollar bill and "B" lives his life in merriment and is determined in everything. Who leads a better life? Personally, I would choose "B". Your panorama differs from mine^^
