A piano teacher described an interesting encounter she had with a young lady who came to
Inquire about music lessons. The young lady asked her, “How long will this course take? My father
tells me that it is in fashion now to be able to play musical instruments and that I should learn one
quickly. I want something that will be quick, fast and easy like, like……..” When the amused teacher
explained that it would take a lifetime of meticulous practice to learn music, her face fell and
needless to say, she never came back.
2. The single most important factor that distinguishes those of us who succeed in any venture and
those of us who don’t is this ‘instant coffee’ attitude. Most of us want results quickly. We want to
reach the top immediately and get worked up when things go wrong. Perseverance and patience
are forgotten words. We get upset, frustrated and angry when a skill or activity requires us to put in
a lot of effort and time.
3. Life is too short and there is not enough time to do all the things we want to. We tend to
compare with others and get upset when they seem to be doing well-dismissing their achievement
as pure luck, or think that they have support, help, approach. That God is being too kind to them
and not to us. And so we give up.
4. But such thinking serves no good. For, it doesn’t solve the problem. Life is tough for those with
the ‘instant coffee’ attitude.
5. Success, real success and happiness come to those who have a ‘bread-making’ attitude. Those
who are willing to knead the dough, wait for hours for it to rise, only to punch it down and knead
some more, wait for another couple of hours for it to rise again, then bake it before it is ready to be
eaten. Nothing is instantaneous. For every endeavour - whether in the area of spirituality, career,
academics, music, sports, relationships, physical fitness or even it is a long arduous journey.
6. Only if we are willing to put in the time, painstaking effort and have faith, can we get results. If
we don't accept this difficult, but true fact of life, our lives will be far from being happy and fulfilling.
