E．Paragraph
　　Henry W. Longfellow once wrote: “ Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.” How nice it would be if we all had a god who could help us finish what we begin. Unfortunately, we don’t. But what we do have is a dynamic called discipline—which extracts a high price. Following one of Paderewski’s performances, a fan said to him, “ I’d give my life to play like that.” The brilliant pianist replied, “ I did.”
　　Accomplishment¹³ is often deceptive¹⁴ because we don’t see the pain and perseverance¹⁵ that produced it. So we may credit the achiever with brains, muscles or lucky break, and let ourselves off the hook because we fall short in all three. Not that we could all be concert pianists just by exercising enough discipline. Rather, each of us has the makings of success in some endeavor, but we will achieve this only if we apply our wills and work at it.
