The idiom, "if at first you don't succeed try, try and try again," was first spoken to Scottish troops at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314 by the Scottish king Robert the Bruce (Peck, 2020). Legend has it that Robert was inspired by a spider he saw while hiding from his pursuers in a cave. The spider kept trying to make a web and each time it improved on its previous attempt until it finally succeeded. This is exactly what I do with the many drafts of my assignments before I eventually complete the final draft ready to submit.
