I think that it virtually impossible for someone to 'make it' by themselves. It usually takes a system of belief around them to keep them going through the tough times... or just life in general.

This is the profile face of a man, looking from left to right. Perhaps you can see his blue nose. Once you get that you'll see the face..... Perhaps you've already seen the woman. It takes her to make him. It takes "Her essence to form his presence"
