"You gotta chop the woods before they warm you," he says, "Or on the other words, you have to work hard first before you get a privilege of something. Or whatever. I'm not good with motivational words". He continues, not once moving his eyes from his video game.
"Man, you know I've worked hard for it. The woods just so fucking old and sturdy and big. No one would be able to chop it down unless they use some modern tool". Marvin answers, giving his best friend an eye roll.
Marvin did try. Alex knows it all too well. He was there when he first saw that damn tree and immediately wanted to chop it down. He was there through every step until he was ready and Alex was sure Marvin would chop it in one swing only but boy was he wrong. There were people better than Marvin. There were people more ambitious and stronger than Marvin.
It was still a sore spot to talk about it. Marvin really wanted to get there. But maybe his failure is something we could learn from. I don't know man. I'm not good with words.
