One of the first things you learn when picking ice out of an ice bucket with a tong is this – “whatever size or shape of ice you can grab with the tong, add it to your cup, while trying to get the big ice cube you desire.” You might end up not getting the ice cube you desired and yet, have a cup full of ice.
The other option is to keep poking around, trying to get the ice cube you desire, keep drawing nothing and getting frustrated.
When what you desire is out of reach, use what is within reach right now.
