Some things take so long But how do I explain When not too many people Can see we're all the same And because of all their tears Your eyes can't hope to see The beauty that surrounds them Now, isn't it a pity

George Harrison
About This Quote

There are things that take so long to happen that most people can’t see them until it’s almost too late. For instance, the world of sports is full of disappointments. Let’s say you are a fan of the New England Patriots. After years of watching their quarterback Tom Brady lead them to victory after victory, you root for him to win all of his matches.

Then, on game day, he doesn’t perform well. He throws an interception on the first play and the game is over early. What do you do? You get up and root for him to win his next game.

You hope that he will be able to regain his form on the next game day and finally win the Super Bowl. But, unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. The next day you root for him to win but again he throws an interception on the first play and he loses early in the game.

Do you still get up and cheer for him? Of course you do! You know what it takes to bring him back each time he loses that championship match. It takes believing in him even when he can’t believe in himself at first. And once again, you are rooting for him to rise every time he falls down.
