The Stonecutter’s Determination
In this motivational video, in which I share an anecdote by Jacob Riis, we explain the attitude we should adopt in the situation of helplessness that we all experience from time to time. When it seems like our efforts are not yielding results, it is important to remember that everything progresses cumulatively and no effort is wasted.
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.
