    Then I will give you the easiest path and yield: you win.

    It was an analogy. The inference is that the hard part comes first with any task.

    Like running a race. The goal is to cross the finish line first, but the hard training occurs long before the race. I'm speaking to the OP. No one does anything without laying in the foundation first.

    The battle has already been won.

    Just get on the right path and run the race.

    The analogy of building the foundations of a house first is about doing things step by step, in the correct order. When you build a house, the foundations are not the most difficult part. Your analogy was a dud.

    That it's supposedly the hardest task is not the reason why people work on the foundations first when they build a house.
