On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve.
More Quotes from Thomas S. Monson:
We have the right to choose, but, likewise, we have the responsibility to choose. We cannot be neutral. There is no middle ground. The Lord knows this Lucifer knows this. So there is a great campaign being waged today. On the one hand, Lucifer has attractively painted his road signs. You have read them you have seen them. They are bright they are attractive. They read something like this 'Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.' Another may read 'It's the popular thing to do.' Another one may read 'Just this once won't matter.' On the other hand, the Lord has prepared His road signs for our guidance. They read 'Fear God and keep his commandments.' See II Kings 1736-39. Another one may read 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap.' See Galatians 67. Another one 'There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated- And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.' (DC 13020-21) Thus we have two roads to follow, and we have the responsibility to choose.Thomas S. Monson

I certainly grew up seeing more movies and television than I read books, but when it came time to do the thing itself you don't have to hire a lot of people to sit down and write a book, so that was the story-telling medium that was available to me.
