About This Quote

Success requires preparation and persistence effort. In a world of instant gratification, it's hard to see success as a process. But, people who have achieved great things have worked hard for them. Think of the runners who find themselves in the starting blocks, ready to run a mile race.

It seems to take years of training and practice to get to that point. Yet, once there, they execute perfectly and win the race. In order for you to be successful, you need to put in the time and effort.
