That's amazing, I drool at any such stuff and love going to big
factories, which happens a fair amount of time due to my business. Thanks

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark.

In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and
the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish
and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but
never have been able to reach.

The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real,
it is possible, it is yours.

That reminds me of the story of the Soviet nail factory that satisfied
a year's production tonnage requirement by making one enormous spike.

I'll bet that didn't go over well. They risked the ire of the
carpenters, with their weapons of mass construction.

According to the story the bureaucrats of Gosplan (State Planning
Committee) awarded the factory manager the Order of Lenin for
exceeding his goal so well.

The worker asks: "Who needs this nail?" and the factory bureaucrat
answers "This is irrelevant. It's important that we fulfilled the plan
immediately."
