Thought for you, yes you -- you know who you are . . .

Before you begin a thing,
remind yourself that difficulties
and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead.
If you could see them clearly,
naturally you could do a great deal to get rid of them
but you can't.
You can only see one thing clearly
and that is your goal.
Form a mental vision of that
and cling to it through thick and thin.
