The assumption with gumption is that its meant for general consumption. But like a spice it should be used sparingly, for that which spurs us on to dare and dream, It takes chutzpah, bravery and temerity to be willing to take on the necessary risks entailed with audacity, guts and tenacity. Its gumption consumption, without interruption, that gets the job done....

The harmed forgive, though it is not easy. A higher...
