Bricks, another analogy

I show my great acknowledgment to the military training, where a premature young teenager learns to become a capable and responsible soldier.

There, we focus a few years solely on the repetitive training, that simple. However, it is the repetition that establishes the sense of disciplines, the unbreakable habits and the steely willpower. Eventually, these simple but hard repetitions make solid bricks for the soldiers that are readily utilized to build up their dream lives.

The process of creating theses bricks is super condensed in military training. But for us,  ordinary persons, this process is too diluted in life to be somehow invisible. This makes us forget that we also need these bricks to live a fruitful life. Although we may not have served in the military, we can still be sober and create our own bricks by repetitively improving and polishing the knowledge or habits we appreciate in our lives.
