Do The Work! 97

You have joined an elite fraternity,
whether you realize it or not.

By dint of your efforts and your perseverance, you have initi-
ated yourself into an invisible freemasonry whose members are
awarded no badges or insignia, share no secret handshake, and
wear no funny-looking hats.

But the fellows of this society
recognize one another. I recognize

you. I salute you.

You can be proud of yourself. You’ve done something that mil-
lions talk about but only a handful actually perform. And if you
can do it once, you can do it again.

I don’t care if you fail with this project. I don’t care if you fail a
thousand times.

You have done what only mothers
and gods do: you have created
new life.
