    The author quotes Emerson, "That which we persist in doing becomes easier --- not that the nature of the task has changed, but our ability to do has increased."

    當我們不斷重複做同一件事時，該事最初的困難並沒有消失，只是因為我們累積了經驗與技巧，執行起來變得更輕鬆。

    成功和成長並不來自一次性解決問題，而是來自於不斷地嘗試和學習。每一次的努力都在悄悄地改變我們，讓我們在未來更有信心、更具備實力去面對同樣或更複雜的任務。
