Some said opportunity was required for success, and millions never had it; other that only determination was needed. And then Jorkens joined in, all for determination. If a man was determined to get anything, and stuck to it long enough, he got it, said Jorkens. 'Anything?" asked Terbut. 'Anything,' Jorkens replied, 'so long as he sticks to it, and sticks to it hard enough and long enough. Anything whatever.' Terbut disagreed.

'And suppose a man wanted to be skating champion of the Sahara,' said Terbut, 'and couldn't afford the money to get there.'
'He'd make the money,' said Jorkens. 'And he'd build a skating-rink in the Sahara and organize a competition there. He'd be skating champion all right, if he really gives all his time to it.''Could you tell us a case like that?" asked one of us.
'As a matter of fact, I can,' said Jorkens, 'a very similar case.''Let's hear it,' said Terbut.

'There was a young fellow,' said Jorkens, 'to whom his parents probably used to say the very things that we have been saying now; and very likely he, as many young fellows do, may have wanted to prove them wrong. I don't know: it was a long time ago. But, whatever his motive was, he hit on a most extraordinary ambition, and stuck to it. It was nothing less than to be appointed Court acrobat.'
'What?' said Terbut. 'Acrobat,' Jorkens went on, 'to the Court of the country in which he lived.'
'What kind of country was that?" asked Terbut.

They had no post of Court acrobat, and never had had. But that didn't stop young Gorgios. That was his name. He was a good athlete when he came by his wild idea at about the age of sixteen, and had won the high jump and the hurdles and the hundred yards at his school.'
