Sam Levenson provides a brilliant metaphor for unstoppable perseverance. The clock is a symbol of relentless, unwavering progress—it never hesitates, speeds up, or looks back. It simply "keeps going."

The instruction "Don’t watch the clock" is a warning against the anxiety of time, the impatience for results, and the distraction of measuring every passing moment. Instead, we are to embody the clock's action: consistent, disciplined, and forward-moving.

This quote is a call to shift our focus from the passage of time to the power of continuous action. By maintaining our focus on the task itself and embodying the clock's unwavering persistence, we ensure our own inevitable progress.
