切って削って cut and carve

鉄を切って家を建て、建物を建て、車を造るのに使うように、「自分の心と考えと行ない」も切って、断ち切って、削りながら、行ない、偉大につくりなさい。果敢に! 思い切って! 勤(いそ)しんで! 熱心に! 自分をつくりなさい。

Just as steel is cut and used for building houses, constructing buildings or making cars, it is to make ‘your heart, thoughts, and actions’ great by taking action while you cut down, cut off, and carve them.?Make yourself boldly! Decisively! Diligently! And zealously!
