The thesis

No matter how deep the bottom - negative one hundred, coconuts and poverty, doubt and invisibility - any young person who chooses faith, activates desire, and takes committed action can climb to five hundred and beyond, because God's blessing is not reserved for those who start at the top, and the climb itself never ends.
