Then a miracle occurs 

The standard method for having an unreasonable deadline met just in time. Usually quoted when the time given, staffing levels or design constraints will not be met in any other way.
Sam: "This project will take three months from beginning to end, design, develop and test."

Boss: "It's due in three weeks."

Sam: "Well, we take one week to train sixteen new people, one week to do all of the design work, and four days to write the code. Then a miracle occurs, and we ship just before the deadline."

Promised You a Miracle

Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises, promises
As golden days break wondering
Chance
As love takes a train
Summer breeze and brilliant light
Only love she sees
He controls on love
Love sails to a new life
Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises, promises
As golden days break wondering
Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life throws a curve
Everything is possible
With promises
Everything is possible, oh
I promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises, promises
As golden days break wondering
Chance
Reflects on them a while
Love screams so quietly
Slipping back on golden times
Breathing with sweet memories
I promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises, promises
As golden days break wondering
Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life throws a curve
Everything is possible
In the game of life
Everything is possible
Chance
Lost pearls of great price
Take care of family
Only aches for love
Love waits for fame
In chance, in chance, they'll see
I promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises, promises
As golden days break wondering
Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life throws a curve
Everything is possible
In the game of life
A burning dream
You can be Queen
Everything is possible...

A Christmas Story Miracle 

When you take an icicle from the freezer stick it up your partner's vagina or anus then proceed to lick it. Thus becoming stuck like the kid from A Christmas Story.
Joey was triple dog dared to give Aggie a Christmas Story Miracle, he was stuck to her coochie for hours.

4 A.M. Miracle 

An unexplainable and extraordinary even that happens around 4 a.m. where sleep deprivation erodes your internal censors and allows you to come out of yourself and create something amazing.
If it wasn't for that 4 A.M. miracle, I wouldn't have finished that paper in time for class.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
