For every giant leap forward, there are baby leaps backward. For every thumbs up, a middle finger. Middle fingers can stop you or you can use them as kindling. Kindling that starts a powerful fire. And the longer that fire endures, the smell of burning middle fingers gives way to something far sweeter – the smell of victory. This is the story of that smell. <br />
