Yes, it is true that Rome was not built in a day. The maxim depicts the reality in such a way that in order to get anything desirable and become a successful person, it requires a passionate commitment triggered by the luxury of conscientious exertion coupled with sincere, steady and prolong struggle unless it is impossible to attain the goal and achieve the target. It certainly applies to both individual and collective ones – nation as a whole. But, those who look for short cuts and do not bother to do diligent efforts to turn into prosper being, face nothing; however, failure.

In olden days, Rome was a quite advanced country. It was rich in education, medical, technological and military capabilities. Many a people used to visit it for their particular reasons from all over the world. But, it is evident that it did not built in a day rather it took years and years to become such a developed country especially of that time. Indeed, Pakistan was also not built in a day but it took many years and by dint of faithful passion and therein a drive to make a separate homeland from inglorious Indians and British; they succeeded. Neither did Napoleon conquer the whole Europe in a day nor did he visited the highest place that a man wished to so. Furthermore, pyramids of Egypt were also not built in a day and so is Taj Mahal. It took many years and along with the help of labour force of thousands. A doctor, an engineer, a civil servant did not made in a day rather their worked hard, burnt mid-night oil and hence their long lasting assiduous work made them distinctive from rest crowd.

All those discoveries and inventions that science has made so far are also the result of profound hard work. Thomas Edison invented electric bulb after 34000 attempts. Wright brothers invented aeroplane after so many attempts. As a matter of fact, there are many examples that solely shows the significance of prolong zealous efforts that have paved the way to success. Certainly, all those successful nations and prosperous people have had struggle a lot whether it comes any revolution like that of French one or economic giant like China. Undoubtedly, the key to success is to have a strong belief and burning desire; in addition to a strong will followed by constant industrious work. In this way one can succeed in life and nation as a whole proposer, compete and leave behind other nations by consistent labour because Rome was not built in a day.


Criticism is highly appreciated.

Stay blessed.
