If there were, he must be a fool. On the other hand, if one has nothing but all disappointments, he is still greater a fool. Because this world is not made especially for any certain people. We all had or have some ambition, and the world does not always fulfil our ambitions. When our ambition is not fulfilled it irritates our sense, and that irritation becomes a solid crystallisation in our minds, which we call "disappointment." Therefore those who have no disappointment must have neither ambition nor sense to be irritated. They must be fools no doubt! But if one meets with some disappointments, each time he ought to get the most valuable thing called "wisdom" in his head.
