A Bit of a Reach. The What.

It's like finding a needle in a haystack of needles. 

In other words, you'll find what you're looking for, but I don't know how much that really means...how impressive it really is. 

In the case of this piece, it's a bit of a reach to call yourself a king when you've been handed, and have discarded, a large selection of crowns...or, if you remove the crown imagery...it's a bit of a reach to consider yourself successful when you haven't earned what you've attained or what you've earned was easy to come by. 

It's not that the only way to succeed in life is to build it totally from the ground up by yourself, but it's how you get to the top that really defines that summit.

If you jumped out of a plane you could reach the summit of Mt. Everest pretty quickly, but you also wouldn't be prepared to weather the storm once you got there...
