even the most impossible tasks are achievable if you keep working at them, one screw at a time

my father told me a when I was a little kid that illustrates this idea of how to handle an impossible task. As a teenager he had wanted a motorcycle very badly for a long time and his father, knowing this, eventually got him one for his birthday, however, he didn’t just give it to him. A few days after his birthday his father took him out to the garage and told him that he needed him to do something for him. Inside the garage was a motorcycle that he told my father he needed to be taken apart, everything, screw by screw. It took my father 3 long days but he eventually had the motorcycle completely disassembled. When his father came back to check on his work, he looked everything over, nodded and said “Ok, put it all back together and its yours.”
It took him 2 years to put that motorcycle back together. Now you may think that what his father did was cruel but even my father admits now it was the best lesson he’s ever been taught, not only did he never have to rely upon a mechanic again, but he also learned a valuable life lesson: that even the most impossible tasks are achievable if you keep working at them, one screw at a time…
