You won’t accomplish your goal today. Nor tomorrow. It’s too bad, but it’s a fact. So you’ve got to move on. No, not to something else. You’ve got to move on and act. You should undertake the needed steps. There’s no point in trying to succeed quickly. You won’t.

Why? Because time will always prevail. No matter how hard you try, some things just take time. A goal? It’s one of those things. And that’s why you have to learn to be patient.

Do you want an example of that? Here’s one that couldn’t be truer, from Warren Buffet:

“No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.” — Warren Buffett

Being in a hurry not only won’t produce anything of quality, but it’ll also make you miss details.

It all comes down to details

Small steps. Small actions. Small results. Small mistakes to fix. Tiny bits of time.
