"Aim for the moon. Even if you miss you'll land upon the stars."
OR
"Reach for the stars, but be happy if all you catch are fireflies."
I aimed my highest(to the moon) and shot oh so far,
But it didn't seem to be enough,
For all I got were fireflies.

When I reached for the stars,
I immediately hit the ground.

Every time I try my best and reach oh so far,
All I get is something far below what I wanted.
