I heard this today.

“When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.”

Very inspirational Never lose your determination even when you think you are getting nowhere Thats what it says to me but I also pictured the elegant swan smoothing along the water with its legs going 90 to the dozen under the water. Most things take a bit of hard work even if we don't recognise it

Nah, the moral of the story is don't tackle arduous tasks, get some eejit to do the groundwork and step in near the end to take the glory.
