Philippe Petit is a famous tight rope walker who never gave up on his dreams. He bought a few juggling pins to juggle from a juggler. He practiced and practiced with them until he was a master at juggling balls and pins. He went up to a famous juggler and showed him his tricks. The juggler was unimpressed and stated that his juggling was not professional since the pins were dented and obscure. He started juggling really well on stage and did many cool tricks. So Petit went to a magician and learned a magic trick. It was to make a card disappear into thin air, behind your hand. He mastered that too and showed it to a magician who discouraged Petit because he wasn’t fast enough. So he practiced again and made the trick only two seconds to do. He then wanted to try tight roping. He tied many ropes to a tree and then tied them to another tree. He used big shoes to walk across the ropes. After he could walk across them, he would cut off a rope. Once he mastered walking across that one, he cut off another, until there was only one left. Soon he mastered that and went on to walk across the World Trade Center and other land marks. Petit never let go of his dreams and kept on believing he could do it. He had faith in doing what he liked. Like Petit we should never let go of our dreams. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Petit
