achieving success

Complaining about not achieving success despite working hard is like complaining about an ice cube not melting when you heated it from twenty five to thirty one degrees. All the action happens at thirty two degrees. When you finally break through the Plateau of Latent Potential, people will call it an overnight success. The outside world only sees the most dramatic event rather than all that preceded it. But you know it's the work you did long ago -- when it seemed that you weren't making any progree -- that makes the jump today possible.

The article uses the metaphor of heating an ice cube to discuss the concept of achieving success. It suggests that people often express frustration when they don't see immediate results despite their efforts, similar to an ice cube not melting when heated to thirty one degrees. Hewever, the significant change often occurs at `thirty two degrees`, symbolizing a tipping point or breakthrough moment. This is referred to as the Plateau of Latent Potential. The article highlights that people may perceive such breakthroughs as overnight successes, neglecting the consistent efforts and work done beforehand. It stresses that even when progress seems non-existent, it is the work done during those times that lays the foundation for future success.

 

It takes a long time to get frustrated. How many people have endured that long? And then Only Perseverance during these times ?
