An influential professor recently pointed out to me that Etch-a-sketch is all about the process. I couldn't agree more; especially with this particular toy, as erasing is not an option and restarting is so unavoidable and unexpected at times.
Etch-a-sketching is a daunting and tedious task. As I have said, anyone can be a Pro at Etch-a-sketch, but you have to love the process. Unbelievable amounts of time must be dedicated without attachment and emotion, as the unpredictable stylist is easily strewn off-course, the toy can be dropped (erasing the picture completely usually), and pictures rarely end up appearing as you had originally planned.
As they say, it's not the achievement, it's the climb that grants success and feelings of accomplishment. Leaning from mistakes, overcoming unexpected problems, and adapting are all crucial parts of Etch-a-sketch: the same as any challenging undertaking. You must love the process and all the flaws that undoubtedly will occur, learning and adapting from them.
