"....Before a dream can be realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we've learned as we've moved toward that dream. That's the point at which most people give up. ....Every search begins with beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested.
The boy remembered an old proverb. It said that the darkest hour of the night comes just before the dawn."
PAULO COELHO "The Alchemist"
