Rome wasn't built in a day

This has to be one of my favourite sayings because it makes me realise that the things that I desire cannot magically occur with a click of a finger, it requires a lot of work and effort from me.
The great saying has been adapted from a French proverb, though it is true that it wasn’t built in a day, it doesn’t exempt it from the fact it did burn down in one.
Sometimes it’s hard to keep the faith and persevere with our work especially when we don’t see much progress.
Yes we love to see fast results but sometimes patience is more of a virtue than we’ll ever know.
We can’t rush things but it is daunting when things are taking far too long. Similar to growth, we can’t go to sleep at 17 and expect to wake up at 21. It is theoretically, hypothetically, physically and *insert big word here* impossible. But with all this rushing to achieve success, we can end up destroying the things we have spent a while building and destroy the little chance at progression that we had.
It's true success won’t come over night,unless you’re lucky to be an actual overnight sensation, but even then a lot of work has already gone into it for it to reach that far. 
Indeed Rome wasn't built in a day and success can't come over night, so be patient in all that you endeavour.
