  25. The Beatles were extremely talented, extrememly hard working, and 
  26. were prepared to keep working toward their goals ("The toppermost of the
  27. poppermost") through years of setbacks. My belief is even had the situation
  28. been different (e.g. Buddy Holly not died) they would still have made it big in
  29. a different way.
