Why Valuable Things Require Development Over Time:

The ultimate key to success in life:

There is a category of class of things which can be achieved in your life only through a slow steady, consistent investment into that thing over a period of years on a daily basis which ultimately accretes( grow by accumulation) to some amazing result that you cannot get any other way

• Cannot purchase it
• Build it overnight
• There's No magic pill

The most valuable things in life are those things that are built in this fashion ( this is how you make yourself successful, deeply satisfied and happy in life)

• Key mistake what most fools do is impatience: wants something very valuable very cheaply and quickly, doesn't work for it, can be convinced that something very valuable in life can be gotten without this process of patient steady investment( Fools want to get rich quickly, the wise want to get rich slowly)
• Fools build their castle on foundation of sand, he is more interested in the castle than the foundation, they don't dig a deep foundation and the castle collapses. They constantly working because their foundation is constantly sinking. It would be more easy to bite the bullet and work hard slowly, patiently for a decade and build serious wealth
• Resist the temptation to outsource this to somebody else, this is the heart of self-actualization and personal development

Examples:

Education:

• If you care about education, knowledge, understanding, intelligence and being smart this is not something you can purchase, there's no amount of money that will make you well educated. Nor can you get educated in a weekend or a single year.
• To become well educated that means you're going to invest in your education time and energy every single day for a period of decades
• There's no single book, class, university program that will make you well educated
• Solid education requires thousands of hours of investment
• How: read every single day, listen to podcasts, videos, contemplate, take notes, read more, go to classes for decades and at some point you will become more educated
• Nobody's going to push you to become well educated
• You're tempted to look for a shortcut

After certain number of decades you can coast off of that success for the rest of your life, pays dividends forever
