    When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at
    his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.
    Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was
    not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.
