One Percent a Day for 100 Days

When our oldest daughter graduated with her PhD in molecular biology, she thanked everyone who had helped and inspired her.  She said:

"People ask how I have stayed focused and kept believing.  I tell them that when I was a child, my mom made us mow forty acres with a push mower.  The pastures were chin-high in ragweed, dock and lambs quarter, but she said we could do it, so every day my sisters and I were out there mowing, mowing, mowing.   

And the lawnmower only had three wheels!"
