Hi Ben, Suppose you are a young boy, and your father is a fine cabinetmaker. While you're growing up, you admire his work. You get some tools, and you try to make something, but, of course, it doesn't look anything like the fine work your father does. As you grow a little older, you go to him and say, "Dad, I would like to be a fine cabinetmaker and build fine furniture the way you do." He begins to show you how to do it, but of course, your work still isn't as fine as his, and eventually, you get discouraged. But he "picks you up" so to speak, and tells you, "You can't expect to get it perfect the first time." So you make a commitment that you ARE going to master it. Pretty soon you're turning out some pretty good stuff, and eventually, who knows? You might be a master some day yourself! love, Andy |
