Rome was not built in a day.

God has conferred human with various qualities and one been to adore beauty and praise magnificence. Few men conceptualized wonder and generations adored it. But few thought about the way travelled by these people to achieve it. It reminisces the proverb “Rome was not build in a Day.” The message which has to deciphered by this statement is to realize the quantum of hard work and patience required to achieve the height of excellence. You have to sketch your dreams, formulate the best plan and proceed by action. Challenges will scare you at every crossroad but greet them with a smile. Your body will abort the work but lift it with your grit. Critics will explore new zone of sarcasm but never pay heed to them. The sole objective of your life should be transforming your dream into reality. The dream which you have envisioned with your eyes wide open. And the day you emerge victorious critics will marvel at your achievement. They will be left fascinated and will simply utter truly Rome was not built in a day.
