If you think something will take an hour, it will take a day.

If you think something will take a day, it will take a week.

And if you think something will take a week, it will take a month, or possibly a year.

The winners stick with it. They over estimate their own abilities. They grossly overestimate how quickly they can get things done. But they are not deterred. They stick with it.

If you think you’ll have success in a year, it will likely take a lifetime. Don’t be deterred. Stick it out. Be the winner. Enjoy the ride. And be sure to laugh at yourself. I mean, you thought it would only take a year? Really? I mean… REALLY?

We all overestimate. It’s all cool. Welcome to the human condition.
