He took my hand and brought me in front of the window. As he gently put his arms over my shoulders, he pointed his finger into the grey sky and told me. "See the clouds above? They are grey right? The atmosphere is desolate and it is indeed a very stormy afternoon we have. But if I could just lift you up right now and fly, you would see that beyond those dark clouds is the endless blue sky from horizon to the horizon. You might even see one of the greatest sunsets from up there. Just bring an oxygen mask though, for the sight would surely be breathtaking. If you aim higher more than you could ever aim; If you can withstand the air turbulence and wind velocity as you attempt to fly and fight the gravity, who knows, you might eventually reach what's beyond the gloominess around you. It's the persistence and the motivation that will fuel your burners in your ascent. "
