There’s No Such Thing As Overnight Success
Overnight successes don’t happen overnight. Stories of overnight success are a myth, or greatly exaggerated. And no great thing is created suddenly. Rome wasn’t built in a day. No great thing is created suddenly Epictetus Steve Martin, the famous comedian, summarises his stand-up career in the following words: “I did stand-up comedy for 18 years.
