[He tried so hard, he got so far, but in the end, it doesn't really matter]

Your words are really inspiring! I'll be sure to remember and hold them close to my heart.

He was called a hero, but he didn't think of himself as one. I personally thought he was a little too pessimistic and hard on himself, but what can you do if someone refuses to listen?

That's a real pity; hard work should be noticed and rewarded. Hey, why don't you tell me about your battles then?
