Don't wait for something to work, make it work!
A very powerful phrase but sadly one of the most misunderstood as well. Work towards your goals, take initiative and critically question your own actions! That is what you should take from it. But many seem to think it also implys that something has to work immediately if you do everything right. Well, that is not how things work for us earthlings.
Success, achievement, getting better. These things take TIME.
Consequently the importance of being patient cannot be denied. And "patience is not passive waiting. Patience is active acceptance of the process required to attain your goals and dreams." — Ray Davis.
Conclusion
The combination of patience and hard work is what ultimately leads to success, achivement and getting better.
