It's an inside job

Sometime ago, i read this life changing story of a ballon salesman on the streets of New York City. This innovative salesman was releasing different colours of ballons in order to attract sales. He released a white, a yellow, a red, a green and all manner of colours but somehow he didn't release a black.
After a while, a little Black boy who had been watching and no dout thinking, approached the salesman and asked him, " Mister, if you release a black ballon, would it also go up?" the ballon man looked at him with compassion, understanding and wisdom, then said, " son, it's not the colour of the ballon that makes them go up, but what's inside.
