Building the Snowman

So, this Christmas I watched my sister build a snowman:

The first attempt was a flop, the snowman became decapitated soon enough and we all told her it would be impossible to build since the snow was too thin.

But she did not agree, and tried again.

She spent the whole of the freezing cold winter day trying to make it work, trying to achieve her goal, and nothing else mattered, not even our pessimistic lack of belief in her.
Soon she even ran out of snow in the back grden, and trekked to the front garden in order to create her masterpiece.

In the end she proved us all wrong and produced something we were all amazed and astounded by. What I’m trying to say is, my New Year’s resolution is simply to keep trying. Because you only know what you’re capable of if you truly believe in yourself.
