as a Young Man the villon was part of a
group of
aspiring many years later after the
villon became famous far and wide one
member of that group met up with his old
friend and asked him how he'd managed to
become so great in learning the vill
gold replied to him do you remember the
gamar in kiga where Hill says you cannot
compare someone who reviews his learning
100 times to one who reviews his
learning 101 times yes replied the
friend said the vnon did you really
believe that gamorra without any iota of

stopping most of the contestants gave up
before they reached the 80th floor but

83 84 with nothing but willpower he he
pulled himself up to the 88th floor he
crawled up to the 89th he lay sprawled
on the floor listening to the wind
howling outside the building a little
voice inside him wouldn't let him rest
he clawed his way on each step felt like
a huge platform just one more he reached
the 90th floor and he collapsed he
failed he just couldn't go
on and then he saw a sign in front of
him saying if you got this far you can
take the
elevator when we reach up to God with
all our power all our might he sends
down the elevator to bring us up to
