Want to build a pigsty? Want to pave a yard? Bricks are readily available; you can start whenever you want.

In rural life, there are always things you "want to do but can't." Want to build a pigsty? You've bought the piglets, but the bricks are still nowhere to be found. Want to pave a yard? You've even prepared the cement, but the bricks are still delayed. It's not that you don't want to do it, but the wait for the bricks is agonizing. Waiting for the brick factory to ship, waiting for the truck to arrive—waiting and waiting, the work is delayed, and your spirits are dampened.

Now it's different. The brick-making machine is placed in the yard, and the bricks are readily available. Want to build a pigsty today? Make a few batches of bricks, and you can start tomorrow. Want to pave the yard the day after? Make a few more batches—you can start anytime. No waiting, no rushing, no need to worry about others' opinions. You can start work whenever you want; you can finish it whenever you want.

This feeling is called "having the materials in hand, and not panicking." The piglets have grown up, but the pigsty isn't finished? That's impossible. Want to replace your yard tiles, but the materials haven't arrived yet? No way! The bricks are right there, neatly stacked, ready for you to use. You can start whenever you want, stop whenever you want—the pace is entirely up to you.

Even better, you're making the bricks yourself, so you know exactly what you're doing. Whether it's building a pigsty or paving the yard, you're confident in its sturdiness. Every brick has passed through your hands; you know its properties inside and out. When the work is finished, looking at the neat pigsty and the level yard, you'll feel a great sense of accomplishment.

Want to build a pigsty? Want to pave a yard? The bricks are right there, ready to be done whenever you want. From today onward, your yard is your brickyard, and you're in control of your time. Those things you "wanted to do but couldn't"—one by one, you can get them done.
