    I think this qoute means that it's alot of people that completed their task even though they was tired or didn't want to. I agree with the author because that is true it is alot of tired people that worked hard just to prove they can do something without alot of complaining. I can use this quote in my daily living by always thinking that I know I can do this if I put my mind to it and just do it.
