Success does not come to the one who quits early.

 A young man planted two seeds in dry soil. People laughed and said, “Nothing will grow there.” One seed gave up and never tried. The other pushed its roots deeper, searching for water. Days were hard, the sun was hot, and progress was slow. But one morning, a small green sprout appeared.

The lesson: Success does

not come to the one who quits early. It comes to the one who keeps growing, even when no one sees it.
