We read about many people who have achieved excellence in their respective field & the natural reaction is- he is a born singer or she had this in her genes. But what we fail to read is the hard work that goes behind making an excellent painter or an Olympic medalist. We only see one big success; we fail to notice thousand failures before that achievement. The hard labor that a jumper puts in before making the record-breaking jump or thousands of miles that a sprinter runs before medal-winning 100 meter dash, goes unnoticed. From an observer perspective last race was the eye-catcher but from the winner perspective, the practice that he had before the final run was the most crucial. And only that has made all the difference.
