There's a certain sense of satisfaction in being able to overcome a great difficulty to achieve your goal. At knowing, from the beginning, that the path you go down will be an intensely difficult one, and going down it anyway. And every time you taste failure, you just get back up and try again. And every time you do, you see yourself improving, getting better, thinking, learning, and seeing that spark that is your goal get closer and closer, and you're just that close to touching it. And finally, you grasp hold of it, and you're on top of the world.
