Question

An essay on ' Rome was not built in a day'

Answer 1

The ancient Roman Empire is considered a very beautiful and great symbol of the past. The city of Rome was its capital. Rome is renowned for its architectural beauty. It has many beautiful buildings, parks, gardens and fountains. But all those things were not built overnight. It took the pain and labour of many slaves to complete the construction. So it is a fact that nothing can be achieved overnight. We simply cannot hope to achieve anything great within a day. Only through patient and hard labour can anything of real significance be achieved. Writing a book for example cannot be achieved with computer or modern technology alone. It needs real brain work. Only by using one’s imagination and patient toil can such a thing be done. Likewise if we want to reach high position in life, we should put in hard toil for years. This proverb metaphorically means great position can be reached only through persistent work.

An example can be seen in the history of beautiful Taj Mahal. Mughal emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

Different types of marble from all over the world were used to build this mausoleum. The Taj Mahal took approximately 20 years and approximately 20,000 workers to complete. UNESCO has designated the Taj Mahal as a World Heritage Site and it is also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Over 200,000 tourists from overseas and as many as 2 to 4 million people visit the Taj Mahal every year.

Admirable results and big achievements comes late with time. To achieve great and marvelous thing requires more time. It is necessary to be patient.

The fulfilment of our aims in life or landing our dream jobs and careers do not happen overnight. Hard work, dedication, determination, perseverance and lots of patience will finally lead us to our crown of achievement.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, but they were busy laying bricks every minute. To be patient does not mean laziness. We must keep working hard with perseverance till we accomplish our desired purposes, our dreams.
