Success Quote by Mordecai Orimiladeye

"You may see me struggle, but you will never see me stop. Though there are times I fall, but I will never lose sight of the top"

About this Quote

It’s the cadence of a comeback story turned into a business creed: let the audience watch the strain, but deny them the satisfaction of an ending. As an entrepreneur’s line, it reads less like poetry than like a survival protocol for public failure. The first move is strategic vulnerability: “You may see me struggle” grants that hardship is visible, even performative. In a culture where founders are expected to project inevitability, admitting struggle signals authenticity without conceding defeat. Then comes the hard boundary: “but you will never see me stop”. That “never” isn’t descriptive; it’s a dare aimed at skeptics, competitors, and the internal voice that asks whether the pivot was actually a collapse.

The second sentence tightens the narrative with a familiar but effective rhythm: fall/top. “There are times I fall” normalizes setbacks as periodic, not terminal. The subtext is that falling is part of the itinerary, not evidence you chose the wrong map. “I will never lose sight of the top” reveals the real target: not just persistence, but hierarchy. The “top” is deliberately vague - profit, market leadership, personal reinvention - which makes it portable as a mantra across industries and audiences.

Contextually, it fits the modern entrepreneurship ecosystem where struggle is content, resilience is branding, and quitting is treated as a moral failure. The intent isn’t to describe a journey; it’s to pre-empt judgment, framing any visible wobble as proof of motion rather than a reason to count someone out.
