In this video, Hank comes dangerously close to saying the based part out loud:
no effort is wasted.
He draws a parallel to a sunfish ej*******ng hundreds of millions of eggs out into the ocean, but with only a dozen or so ever reaching adulthood.
The sunfish cannot get away with laying a dozen eggs; statistically speaking, none of them would survive.
The sunfish MUST sq**rt 300 million of them thangs to get just a handful of survivors.
The effort clearly seems overblown; yet none of it is wasted.
Life is the same. Every single drop of your sincere effort counts. Even if it feels like it doesnt.
However, not all effort is created equal. Playing a song you already know on guitar is very different from learning a new one.
The effort that stretches, expands, frustrates, and pushes boundaries into new territory. That’s the flavor of effort that always counts, no matter what, even if “results” don’t blossom from it.
