Unyielding determination and unwavering courage - the essence of every attempt, etched in history. From military badges to mountaintops, from cricket pitches to courtrooms, these moments define our human spirit. Mallory and Irvine's audacious endeavor at the Second Step of Everest in 1924 reminds us that even amidst adversity, we strive for greatness. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay conquering the world's highest peak exemplify the triumph of perseverance. Don Bradman's square cuts at Lords echo his relentless pursuit of excellence on the cricket field. In a courtroom scene during Mr M Naughten's trial, justice hangs in balance as society seeks truth and fairness. George Leigh Mallory's indomitable spirit lives on through his daring expeditions into uncharted territories. Amy Johnson bids farewell with a heavy heart as she embarks on her solo flight across vast skies. The Blackburn Kangaroo landing at Hounslow Aerodrome signifies yet another milestone in aviation history, pushing boundaries beyond imagination. The end of Sir John Franklin's Arctic Expedition serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes attempts come with sacrifices but leave an everlasting impact. The Battle of Leipzig stands tall as a testament to collective bravery against insurmountable odds. Rasputin lying helpless in a hospital bed exposes vulnerability even within those seemingly invincible. Through it all runs an undercurrent - grit personified by Wilmot Lunt’s masterpiece 'Grit', and is this very quality that fuels our attempts; propelling us forward when others would falter. Attempts may not always yield success, but they embody resilience and tenacity - qualities that shape our shared human experience.
