Only patience is not a virtue! In order to succeed.
Here in this story I will tell you why only patience is not sufficient for success, other factors matters too.
Today, I was sitting on the charpoy on the roof of my house, thinking: why is my patience not working? Is its battery dead?
When I was a kid, I still remember that my mom used to say, 'Have patience because the fruit of patience is sweet.' Let me be honest, this proverb worked for some situations in my life then it failed. I totally agree that if I am working on something and it is not giving me results, then hard work, consistency, and patience are the only traits that will help me in getting my sweet fruit.
As I turned 19, my point of view changed. Patience is indeed a great quality to be adopted during difficult times, but keep in mind that only having patience will not yield good results; other factors matter too.
If we are dealing with situations that are not favoring us but still we are wasting our precious time in the name of patience, believing that the good time will come, then believe me, nothing will change. There is no sweet fruit for madness.
The definition of patience in the English dictionary is 'willing to wait if necessary; not losing one's temper while waiting.' Now, let's suppose a blogging expert is waiting for a longer time after writing an article, believing that it will give results one day. Then, he is not a blogger; he is a moron. As only patience will not work he also has to work hard in order to rank his article.
I got this idea when my cousin told me about his YouTube channel that he is working hard on and has posted almost 50 videos. There are very few views on it. When I saw his videos, they were totally sh*t. There were plenty of editing mistakes and terrible transitions and color grading.
My dear, I just want to tell you that in order to make the fruit of your patience sweet, you have to work hard with consistency at your fullest in order to succeed. You have to give your best. If you are not working hard with consistency and just daydreaming that your time will come, then believe me, that time will never come.
Patience is indeed a great quality, but it is not sufficient to guarantee success. Instead, success comes from the blend of hard work, consistency, and patience.
Hard work, consistency, and patience are like fan blades. If one is missing, then the other two are useless. Just as fan blades combine to give us a cool breeze, these three traits (hard work, consistency, and patience) align with each other to propel us toward success."
In summary, work hard, be consistent with your efforts, and remain patient, and then you will see success will run after you.
