Instant results
+++++++++++++++++++

If you're willing to settle only for instant results, you're
seriously limiting what you can accomplish. Most things of
great value take some time to achieve.

It is good to take action. It is far more powerful to take
focused, sustained action.

The results you're willing to wait for are the results that
will last the longest. The time you invest in creative,
productive, effective effort will always pay the greatest
dividends.

If you're always chasing instant results, life will be a
constant struggle. By contrast, you can do the work of
fifty, a hundred, a thousand people or more by spreading the
effort over time.

Just imagine the incredible, lasting value you'll be able to
create. When your efforts build upon each other, there is no
limit to how far you can go.

Persist in your work, and you will be abundantly rewarded.
The results that come over time are far and away the most
precious.

Ralph Marston

Thanks for posting this, Jan...I needed to hear it! I think I may print it out and put it on my wall for med school test-season...

I've been doing well lately, for a change (odd, I know)...I hope you are too.

Thanks again,

Rose
