Rome Was Not Built In A Day
Rome in the proverb stands for any great achievement. At one time, Rome was the capital of the Roman Empire as well as citadel of the Roman Catholic Church. It was Roman Emperor Augustus who is considered to be the real builder of Rome. Rome consisted of only a few hamlets when Augustus came to the throne. It took about 40 years for him to transform the face of Rome into a metropolis, adorned with beautiful mansions, theaters, temples, public baths and many other public buildings. So, it took a long time for this city to develop into a grand city of the world. In the same way every important task takes some time to be completed, likewise, we have to constantly pursue our goals; work more-harder; climb every small step of success ladder to reach much higher than sky to see ourselves at “top of the world”. Henceforth, there are two aspects of the matter. First, all big or important things take time to be accomplished. Secondly, one should never grow impatient if some work takes a long time. What is required is perseverance and not haste.
In many cases we find men becoming impatient to pluck the fruits of their labour instantaneously or overnight. They are like that foolish farmer who sowed the seed and went the next morning with a sickle in his hand to reap the crop. Great undertakings require hard work over a long period of time. It is childish either to desire a result without sufficient work for a certain period of time or to give up the attempt after some time. So, we must bear in mind haste makes waste. Aiming quick result is absolutely wrong .For example to be a professional doctor you have to go through all practical skills of surgery also. Getting them infused into your mind slowly and steadily. Imagine later when you are doing an operation a small mistake because of hasty attitude can sometimes cost a life also. Thus, great things in life cannot achieve instantly nor does success come to your door knocking every evening. Take for example the great wonders of the world. We often admire their greatness but are apt to forget the tremendous amount of money and material, human labour and time that have gone into their making. The Taj Mahal, a marvel of architectural workmanship took seventeen years to complete. The huge pyramids of Giza took several generations of Pharaohs to attain their overpowering magnitude and staggering height. The Great Wall of China is another case in point. In the same fashion, Milton took a quarter-century of years to complete his great epic, likewise, the most read book in the world ‘The Holy Quran' was revealed to Muhammad (S.A.W.W) in 23 years. These random examples are enough to prove the truth of the saying.
People in our country are impatient of the slow pace of our progress to prosperity. They often contrast our poverty with the affluence of the USA without bothering their heads with the facts that it took even the Western capital coupled with technical skill and the virgin soil of America about a hundred and fifty years to make the USA the rich and prosperous country that we admire. We cannot eradicate the poverty of centuries within a few decades. It will take time as Rome was not built in a day. Similarly a student who desires top the class has to devote most of his time in studying hard. He has to put in time and effort. He has to plan his schedule in a proper way from day one. Students who study at the nick of time end up getting bad scores.
Nothing can be achieved in a single day. There is nothing called instant success. Therefore one should have to keep patience, determination, dedication and work hard throughout his journey to reach his goal.
