The next part of this person's career was hugely successful, so we'll have a nice huge uptick. Just keep going like that. One more little bumpy road, just before they took it all the way.

But we're, this is just going to go right off the chart, right off the edge of the box, because that's how impressed we are with this person. Fantastic. Then, just add a little bit of grosgrain ribbon and write, way to go, or whatever message you like, right on the box. And your present is ready to go to the congratulations party."
