“Hard-to-achieve things remain so until one of us chooses to take the chance and not give up.”

Some things remain difficult because every attempt stops before enough has been learned. The challenge keeps its power while no one stays with it long enough to find what works. Taking the chance changes more than the odds of immediate success. It creates experience, reveals the real obstacles, and gives the next attempt knowledge that the first one did not have. Persistence lets those gains gather.

A slim chance is still a place where a result can begin. The world itself is pictured as life growing from an unlikely set of conditions. Difficulty does not promise success, but refusing every chance guarantees that the difficult thing will remain untouched.
