All fires begin with just spark. Little sparks, unsure of where to land, or if they have any chance of growing into something big one day. Most do not. Most find their place in a spot rare of kindling, not enough support to begin flaming. Some burn out while flying, not enough strength to go on.

Young boys are quite similar. They fail to succeed without the right support, while some are too weak or are unaccustomed to the fact that handling the hardships you must face as a teen growing into an adult is not easy, or are too pressured to become perfect they fail in making the best life choices for themselves.

But the few who do succeed become greedy, now indulged in becoming richer and more famous for their own good, and get put out, just as raging bushfires must. The lesson to be learnt is that, if you think you are a self-made person, you are lying to yourself. No-one is ever fully self-made.

There is always the kindling.
