Instant results
If you're willing to settle only for instant results, you're 
seriously limiting what you can accomplish. Most things of 
great value take some time to achieve. 
It is good to take action. It is far more powerful to take 
focused, sustained action. 
The results you're willing to wait for are the results that 
will last the longest. The time you invest in creative, 
productive, effective effort will always pay the greatest 
dividends. 
If you're always chasing instant results, life will be a 
constant struggle. By contrast, you can do the work of 
fifty, a hundred, a thousand people or more by spreading the 
effort over time. 
Just imagine the incredible, lasting value you'll be able to 
create. When your efforts build upon each other, there is no 
limit to how far you can go. 
Persist in your work, and you will be abundantly rewarded. 
The results that come over time are far and away the most 
precious.
