Precede means to go first, in time or place. My older brother preceded me into the world.
Courage and perseverance can enable us to transcend the obstacles that life puts in our path.

Transcend would mean to rise above.

Dear Faldage: Good thing you don't run an airline. Your transatlantic flights would be
a big disappointment.

What?
From AHD4:
transcend
3. To exist above and independent of (material experience or the universe):
It's from Latin trans- + scandere, to climb.
Whadda yer transatlantic flights do, Dr Bill, take the surface route?

Looks as though AHD didn't know what "trans" meant. My airline would get across the ocean,
yours apparently would not.

As was once commented concerning Virgin Airline:
"Why would you name an airline for someone known for not going 'all the way'?"

Oh, we make it across all right. We just don't get wet doing it.

Dear Faldage: Then you do know what "trans-" means. Going up is not enough, one must
also go across, past the obstacle.
