It is always the little drops of effort that contribute to the stature of any grand project. However the prime difficulty in working with such
small things is a native lack of vision or purpose. As an example, it
will be plain boring if we just magnify the pixels on the screen of your
device, for it will only show an indiscernible melange of glowing
lights. But zoom out of it and lo there lies a window to the unlimited
delights of the virtual sphere. Such is the case of putting effort to
something. Each human toils in his own small part of the world,
contributing ever so tinily, but put it all together and the vast wonder
of human ingenuity comes into the picture. Evaluating the work at a
larger perspective is thus important and necessary to instill the
necessary fire and motivation inside each individual working towards it.
Not only that, viewing the entirety of one's effort from afar is also a
great debugging tool to solve seemingly unsolvable problems just because
it was simply looked at from a different perspective. A simple analogy is one
where a camera focuses on its subject from many different positions and
at last settling on that focus which brings out the best image.
If you, my dear reader, feel stuck between a rock and a hard place, I suggest you try this nifty mental exercise. Consider yourselves as an outsider (not any ordinary outsider, but an expert in your particular craft, nonetheless.) Watch at how your other actual self is bungling about, failing to do even the simplest of things and if you may, laugh a little, inwardly, at his/her expense. After you are done laughing at yourselves, butt in and consider the problem from the outsiders angle. 'Hmm, I think the problem can be easily solved if you just do so and so in here and in here. Problem Solved.' 'Wow you actually did solve it! You are a lifesaver!' As you bask in the glory and admiration showered upon by your actual bungling self, act cool, get on your horse and ride off into the sunset, content that you have saved the world for one last time. Until the sequel shows up, that is.
