English term or phrase: We will will this thing forward, on pure iron will alone
Reality sui pescherecci.
Dopo una giornata poco fruttuosa, il capitano di una barca commenta come segue:

all season long, obstacles come up that prevent you from catching your numbers, but regardless of the situation, we keep pressing on, keep fishing harder, longer, whatever it takes to get the job done.
We will will this thing forward, on pure iron will alone, we'll make it happen.

Grazie.
