Keep It Up

A little boy was having a difficult time blowing the shofar.  He kept at it, emitting high-pitched squealing noises.  It was not right.   

Finally, he exclaimed, “It ain’t that I ain’t blowin’ it.  It just is that the sound ain’t comin’ out.”   - Gerson D.Cohen from address to Rabbinic Assembly Convention 1988

What would you say to the little boy?  Probably keep trying.  Do not give up.
