"It is never very crowded at the front"

This quote by Creighton W. Abrams, Jr. is a suggestion that success is hard and often needs hard work and devotion. It implies that those who want to put in the effort and take risks will be rewarded, while those who take the easy route will not get as far. It is a call to action, motivating people to take the effort and pursue achievement. It is a suggestion that the path to success is frequently lonely and that it is not constantly easy to remain determined and focused. It is a suggestion that the rewards of success deserve the effort which those who want to put in the work will be rewarded. It is a tip that success is not an appeal contest and that it is not always crowded at the front. It is a suggestion that success is made, not given.
