“My dad said to me – Work hard and be patient. It was the best advice he ever gave me. You have to put the hours in”.
– Simon Cowell.
There is no shortcut to success. There is no magic to any place worth going or dream worth chasing. Develop, grow and succeed at your own pace.
One of the secret to success is patience. If a farmer plants a seed today, would he come the next day or the day before to harvest it?
He allows it to grow, nurture it, water and weed it until the harvest time. That’s when we talk of bountiful harvest.
When you place a pot of soup on fire, do you dish it out undercooked and start eating no matter how hungry you are?

What about a stone cutter who hit tirelessly on a rock for days until it finally split into two? It is not just about the last hit but the ones that had gone before.
That’s the algorithm of success and life. You work hard, you plant your seed, you hit the rock until it is the reaping time, then you will appreciate the fact that it was worth the while.
You must not stop no matter how hard it gets. Empires are not built in a day. Nothing good comes easy. Be hopeful. Great things take time. Be patient. Work hard for that vision only you can see and watch the world sign your autograph.
