You may not achieve everything at the very first go!
‘Give me six hours to chop down a tree‘, simply means doing something in a hurry and getting back in bare hands is just a wastage of our effort. Instead, spending the first four hours wisely will decide the next two hours. If our preparation was up to the mark, gaining success is much easier.
If you lag at your preparation/planning effort, success could become a far-fetched dream for you. Therefore, you should be focused on something that you truly want, and thus, work hard on achieving that! Same as investing, if your preparation is enough, your investment will grow over time. However, even if you don’t, you will bag home the lessons that you would have otherwise not be blessed with!
Investing is quite similar to the way we reap the harvest, or rather farmers do it. They spend a lot of time in finding the right time, right kind of soil, right season and finding the best quality of seeds. Again, they invest on feeding those plants with the best fertilizers and ensuring that they receive the right amount of sunlight and water. Once all these things are settled, they can actually expect a good return from the harvest.
