(You will need two poles and rope to secure them with a square lashing. Tie a square lashing. )
As you watch me tie these poles together, think about how this lashing might be compared to success in life. The wrapping turns hold the two poles close together. But notice that they are not real tight, and with a little movement of the poles, the ropes loosen to allow slipping.
Now I add the frapping turns. I might have been satisfied without these turns, but notice what happens when I make the extra effort to add them. The frapping turns took up all the slack in the first turns and tightened the entire lashing the poles are now securely bound together in place. Repeated movement won't loosen the ties that bind them together.
These frapping turns that finished the job took a little extra effort, but what a difference they made in the job! In life, you will constantly be given chances to put forth a little extra effort. When you have the chance, don't let these opportunities pass. Remember the frapping turns.
If you put extra effort into things you undertake you will find success in life, real lasting friendships, and the inner knowledge that, come what may, you have done your best.
