Quote★★★★

The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion. It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider, and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it. This is the man who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree. Alexander Graham Bell

Also attributed to: Alexander Graham Bell

The point

Lasting success comes from steady, deliberate progress rather than sudden leaps.
