Hit that iron until it shapes up. Keep filing til it's sharp. Stay with the wood until the rough surfaces are smooth.
Keep doing that which your hands find, it pays in the long run.
Begin Again.
----------------
We often fear to start all over again. However, the human life is like a peice of art. Be it painting or drawing or writing, you never get it right and flawless at the first stroke. A story rewritten is called a masterpiece . Miners don't find gold at the first dig .
Therefore friend, don't recoil at the hunch to begin again. The world will rate you by the charm of your terminus not by the beauty of your transitions.
Don't attempt the next level until you're very sure you've mastered the first grade and got it right.
In other words, keep the chiesel at work until you've crafted the object well ; and then round off with final flourish.
Until it clicks, brother, tear papers after papers, pour ink after ink , starting and re- starting again . And again.
It takes time for excellence to cook.
