If everything in life’s a type of test,
then pass this one and you’ll matriculate.
Just let the process shape you to the best
edition you progressively create.
A problem is a puzzle in disguise,
and you can use your wit to find a way
to get around or through whatever lies
obstructing where you want to go today.

And if the issue’s big begin with part,
and take it slow and steady as you chew.
The elephantine challenge is to start –
avoiding is the worst that you can do.

when he was ten and I was forty-one.)
