“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter 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 that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” – Jacob Riis
I thought of this quote a few days ago as I struggled to get ice out of an ice cube tray. Fortunately, with much persistence, I was able to get the ice cubes out. I heard this quote in a basketball documentary years ago, and it has been embedded in my memory ever since. Although it was paraphrased in the film, the story still resonates with me as something that explains how our frustrations are a byproduct of impatience. -TheRhymeRula
