A mind can blow those clouds away.
I have just been reading Damon Hill's autobiography in which he recounts his early days struggling impecuniously after the untimely death of his father Graham. A young man born to race who was diverted into the local college to study 'business studies' and yet still came out a racer.
Two things struck me as being beautiful. Niki Lauda had advised him not to be afraid to borrow money because if you believe that you can succeed then the outcome is certain and hence there is actually no risk in the undertaking. The risk is a product of the uncertainty i.e. only the faint hearted need to be concerned, not the winners.
Also, having fallen short of his financial backing required to continue in the lower formulae he was about to give in...just before receiving a phone call from a 'softly spoken Liverpudlian voice'. A man who later taught him that all things must pass...
...and who never accepted any offered repayment.
Kind Regards,
The Fireman.
