Jacob Riis - E-Motivation

Ultimate Motivation Resource

The Stonecutter’s Determination Sometimes we do everything we can, but still feel like nothing is changing. Days go by, we work, we strive, we persevere, but there seems to be no progress. That’s when discouragement sets in. It is in such moments that Jacob Riis’ unforgettable anecdote comes to mind: “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 last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.”
