If you're a happy crowd of about one million flies, you can eat an elephant in about five minutes.
But, considering the fact that we are human beings, we can't really do that. Beside that, I don't think elephants are really so tasty, though I never ate any.
However, I've learn that whenever you have some big job to do or some major problem to solve, or anything of a kind, that becomes an elephant in your life.
So how can you ''eat'' it?
Actually, it is quite simple. You need to do exactly what the flies are doing. Simply tare it apart, brake it into pieces, and eat it bite by bite, one piece at a time.
You just can't eat the whole freakin' thing at once, even though many people are doing just that, trying to gobble it up in one piece. It's just impossible!
So, what you need to make a good receipt for an elephant is:
Line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little. Don't run more than you can, or need to.
Mr. Whipperman had thought me a great principle when he said to me:
''Slow down Rasko, you'll get there faster, 'cause haste makes waste.'' (And the guy would know the best, he's been around here in this world over 85 yrs!)
