Persistency versus the short game. We do live in a world where everything just happens so fast that if we have a project or a cause or a mission, if it doesn’t happen instantly, or if it doesn’t manifest or materialize the way we want it, within a month or within a quarter, even within a year, we give up. And we then start chasing the next shiny toy of opportunity. What I realized is the true masters are not all about impatience. They’re not all about the short game. They understand that world-class is a process and that genius could take decades. And what makes genius output is the ability to stick with a singular vision of your masterpiece, whatever is; a great company, a great family, a gorgeous life, a new book, a film, I don’t know. But mastery comes through deep focus, patience, and persistency.
