There were things in the world which take a considerably long time to mature. It is the nature of a task that determines the length of time it would take to be accomplished. Some people are in the habit of getting impatient, when a task takes a little too long to complete. They do not understand or rather conveniently forget the nature of the task and start losing heart. This idiom is used to tell the impatient people that great things are not done or accomplished overnight. Such things required long time, patience and continuous effort.
Rome is the name of city in Italy. At one time it was the capital of the Roman Empire. It was the citadel of the Roman Catholic Church. It was Roman Emperor Augustas who is considered to be the real builder of Rome. Rome consisted of only a few hamlets when Augustas came to the throne. It look 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. It took a long time for the city to develop into a grand city of the world. In the same way every important task takes some time to be completed. 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.
A close lock at the maxim will make it evident that the world 'Rome' represents a great or noble or a monumental task. And the words 'in a day' indicate the span of time. The position is now very clear that monumental or great things cannot be done in haste, they require not one day but along period of time. It is an advice to those who after having put in a little work or labour want excellent result immediately. They would be committing a mistake by doing so. It is again a lesson for those who want to do big or great things in life that they should be prepared to work hard continuously for a long time without losing patience. Patience is crucial in this process. Impatience will lead you nowhere. It will waste the labour or efforts you have already put in. therefor, it is advisable to learn this lesson and translate it into action. One should have a firm determination and should sincerely work hard. One cannot achieve success unless one puts in the required amount of work in a specified period. The period of time is as important as the amount of labour. Therefore, the key to the accomplishment of any big task is labour, patience and perseverance.
Suppose a man is not keeping good health. he wants to improve his health. Can any exercise, medicine or tonic improving his health over night? The answer is obviously regular exercise, and medicine for a period of time, before he can find any improvement in his health. if after a few days he feels discouraged, because he finds that exercise and medicines have done no good to him it is a fit case when he should be given this piece of advice. Similar is his annual examination and works hard for few days, but getting no better result in the terminal examination he loses heart. Regular hard work for a considerably long period of time will ensure a distinction in the annual examination. No one is going to achieve the result without putting in required input of labour coupled with time. Patience is the essence of it. The Taj Mahal is a monumental architecture. It took decades for its building. Shah Jehan got this finest piece of architecture constructed with great patience and with huge expenditure over a long span of time. It is because of these factors that the Taj occupies a place of pride in India.
In many cases we find men becoming impatient to pluck the fruits of their labour instantaneously or over night. They are like the foolish farmer who sowed the seed and want the next morning with a sickle in his hand to reap the crop. Great undertakings require hard work over along period of time. It is childish either to desire a result without sufficient work after some time. A careful analysis of several important achievements will be enough to convince anybody that perseverance plays a very important role in the successful accomplishment of any task. Look at the strenuous work put in by those who achieved success in any great adventure or undertaking. They would have never succeeded without patience.
Great discoverers have shown wonderful tenacity of purpose and commendable endurance in their pursuits. they never showed any sign of discouragement even after successive failures. Had they been hasty or had they shown signs of disappointment, they would not have been remembered today with enabled Tensing reach atop Everest. Milton took a quarter century of years to complete his great epic. Tulsidas took several years of constant labour in compiling his Ramcharit Means.
This maxim serves as an inspiration to hard and continuous work for achieving great task or for performing great adventure. It keeps disappointment away from you. It also tells you of the value of sustained effort. Thus it hands over the key to success in life.
