The Price for Success

(From Little Book of Success)

 

The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success.

Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.  Proverbs 10:4

 

Most of his life, Thomas Edison worked 18-hours days. Until he was 65, he only took catnaps and occasional breaks to eat on most workdays. By the age of 75 he had cut his workday down to 16 hours, worked in two eight-hour shifts. He rarely slept for more than three or four hours a day, usually right in his lab. He sometimes lived in his lab for several days at a time. He once locked himself in a “lab prison” for 60 hours without food or water until he and his employees fixed a difficult problem. Work was the elixir of his life.

 

Pablo Picasso also produced vast amounts of work each day of most of his life. He painted 18 hours a day virtually every day until he was in his eighties. When asked why, he said, “I never get tired.” At age 90 he was still producing works of art and told a reporter, “I don’t have a single second to spare.”

 

Albert Einstein felt there was never enough time for work. He was sometimes called an absent-minded professor, not because he was actually absent-minded, but because he relegated social and other events to the category of useless wastes of his time and energy. He regarded wearing socks as an unnecessary complication of life.

 

All of these men, each great in his own field, envisioned success as nothing other than a by-product of their passions for their specialty and tireless effort.
