Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the musical
genius, once wrote to his friend,
“People err who think my art comes
easily to me. I assure you, dear friend, nobody has devoted so
much time and thought to composition as I. There is not a famous
master whose music I have not industriously studied through many
times.”
By the time he was twenty-eight years
old, his hands were deformed badly because of so many hours he had
spent practicing, performing, and gripping a quill pen to compose his
extraordinary music.
There is no such a thing such as
'natural geniuses'. All those extraordinary things happened in human
history takes time to achieve. Mention great names you have in mind,
and read their biography, and learn what they did in their life. They
devoted their life to whatever they are mastering. And when people
talk about life, implicitly they talk about time, because life is
about time.
Some people think the result will come
instantly. They read one great book, and they think tomorrow they
will get the 'big result'. It simply cannot happen.
Read many books, write many pages. Do
many small errors, and learn from them. Be patient and be consistent.
Don't give up because of those errors. And don't give up because the
result seem so far away or so high to reach. Be confident and be
patient to take a ladder a day, by the end of the week you will
stepped seven ladders. And if you pay enough attention to the process
of doing it, by the end of the year, you are 365 ladders higher than
those people who are expecting instant results.
Patience is not the same as not doing
anything. Patience is about put your faith about the end result,
however long it will take to get there. Patience is about taking
those ladders every day. Do something every day, whatever it is you
can do. Take that one ladder today to make you higher than anyone
else.
Time to excel in anything, takes time,
endurance, and patience.
