anything could bring me down to earth and show me that sometimes the sky was not the limit, it was this rude lesson — that often there are powers greater than yours who dictate the consequences of your work.

We should note that human mind is a unique gift. Marvels of universe you can enter into it only if you have curiosity and thinking.
