It Takes Time

As children we learned Practice Makes Perfect. As adults we know this truism as Deliberate Practice or the 10,000 Hour Rule.

No matter what you call it, it’s simple; it takes time to win.

Overnight success is a magic bullet mirage. Doesn’t happen.

Success for the New Orleans Saints took 43 years with the past year requiring 514,000 hours of labor by the entire Saints staff (players, coaches, and back-office employees).

The lesson is simple. Winning ain’t easy, it takes time.

Or, an example from a sport *I* actually care about, the 2004 Red Sox ;)

You can't make a plant grow faster by tugging at it. In fact, you'll probably damage it. Things grow at their own pace. You can cultivate 'em and care for 'em, and hopefully you're planting seeds like mad rather than hoping to harvest from the wild, but in the end, patience and persistence will beat most other options.
