Idealist or Realist? (Is it still okay to dream big?)

Every once in a while my idealist balloon gets closer to the ground, where my realist ground crew gives it a reality check. That's fine, unless the ground crew wants to keep the balloon held for too long and the idealism fades.

The mediator, partly pragmatic but with a soft spot for dreamers, must give the balloon permission to fly again with a firm hand and a tear in the eye.

It's nice to get fired up again when you've been dragging on the pavement under a high pressure situation!
