When the mood strikes you and the will and determination are there, anything is possible. For instance, just yesterday I decided I wanted a sandwich. But I had no bread! However, I was very determined to enjoy a delicious sandwich, so I pushed forward and persevered. I decided I wanted a hot ham and cheese sandwich, and set out to obtain one. The first step was simple, I went to a family-run farm and got a job as a farmhand. I worked there for several years, all the while arranging for the demise of the owner's family, while bringing myself into his good graces. This accomplished, I waited several more years for the farmer to die and leave the farm to me. Now, with a working farm, I was easily able to slaughter a pig and butcher it for the ham of my sandwich, which I salted and allowed to become delicious. While that process progressed, I started a small cheese making operation on the side. I used some of the wheat from harvest to make wholesome and delicious wheat bread. Now, supplied with all the ingredients, I was able to make a hot ham and cheese sandwich.

If I can make a sandwich, just imagine what you can do it you set your mind to it! Just
don't make the mistake I did - I wasn't really in the mood for a hot ham and cheese sandwich the day I finished it.
