A question that often bothers me -> most of us know these truths. We clearly understand what needs to be done to achieve success. And yet time and again we fail in executing that knowledge. Why?
I think we as humans want things quick and fast. We fail to realize that most good things take time and require hard work and patience over long periods of time
Imagine if we are deeply passionate about "One Thing". We gladly go through the grind because we love this one thing. It may take years to achieve mastery but we will stick it out. That's the formula. One has to be a little crazy to achieve greatness.
The other philosophy of balancing thing in life is also fine but one must choose one of the camp.
Very well said. Every good thing takes time and patience along with hard work.
Thanks!

Warren Buffet says, "The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient."
Few reasons:
1. We are overloaded with information and tasks
2. Doing anything for a prolonged period is hard.
3. We lack focus (Concentration).

Absolutely true in my opinion. Advantages of long term vision are many - provided one can work / endure for long.
I agree most people lack the strength to stick it out. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
