The Gaining Of Wisdom

Listening to experienced people in business is so valuable. So often, these people tell stories about struggling to make ends meet. They rely so much on selling their product or getting the next project on their books. Their jobs and their businesses always seem tenuous because of the prevailing conditions.

They are dealing with customers who are not paying their bills on time. They are disappointed by people around them who do not do what they say they will do. The weather is against them. Despite these setbacks, they persevere, and the wisdom born of years of hard work shines through like diamonds. They are an inspiration.

Recently, I had the privilege of hearing a world famous winemaker talking about his overnight success. It had taken him and his family twenty years of hard work and perseverance.
