I agree to the fight. The award, which is getting for these hardships, it is exorbitantly large. It is the joy of life.

The closer to the top, the more grew in me the belief that it might be fulfilled, which most dreaming.

At a time when you stay at the top, there is no explosion of happiness - happiness is experienced when everything remains in front of you, when you know that you have to a goal a few hundred, a few dozen meters when you are right in front. This is the time of happiness.
