In 1908 Jack London (
follow this link to biography) wrote a soul gripping short story of a man in the freezing Alaskan dark who had to build a fire to survive. The short story was called "To Build a Fire" (
follow this link to the story). It captures the heart stopping fear that knowledge of the consequences of failure can bring. It captures the hope of success that causes us to continue to move forward. It is better than Hemingway.
It may be that something as simple as an egg may be the bridge between fear and hope and I offer this analysis of a kinderegg for your consideration.

Ability to distract when desperate for a distraction .... priceless
