Quote of the Day

Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.  Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

    That means I should keep trying, even if I can't see any changes. I'll do that.

    Changes only show when you have put enough work into it, so don't ragequit if you don't see results right away.
