Solution
Welcome to the magical fairyland of Twatsa. The Mother Fairy, Tossamer Walfrost lives in butterfly islands and insect grottos. All around the wonderland are swift bubbling streams of treacle, cascading from hillocks of orange marmalade. The candy floss flowers invite butterflies with transparent wings. Once in a while, across the dark chocolate sky, shooting stars are seen. They drip and fall on land covered in caramel wafer. Little gnomes, goblins, and elves fly swiftly visiting children in their dreams. The mermaids in the sugary seas use doughnuts to keep them from drowning. And somewhere, sometimes a dreamy kid makes castles of walnut and kennel for his pet in this fairyland of Twatsa.

Cowboy has made millions of dollars. He has also lost it all, only to get it all back again. In his life as in mine, it has been that once you know and practice the principles of success, they will work for you again and again.
He can also be an inspiration to you. He is proof that it’s not environment or education or technical skills and ability that make you success. He proves that it takes more: it takes the principles we so often overlook or take for granted. These are the principles of that Ya Gotta’s for success.
