ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY

The proverb means that nothing great and lasting can be done in a hurry, It takes a long time to implement a great task and to give it a permanent shape. A great work is performed little by little. It can not be done overnight. Once Rome was a city of great splendour and magnificence. She drew the attention of the then civilized world but she did not rise to prominence all on a sudden. It was the result of the patient labour of her people. Her people worked hard for many years and thus brought her to the peak of beauty. In the same way something great in life is earned through hard labour. Great things do not come automatically. They are to be attained, bit by bit. Human life is not a bed of roses. It is full of thorns. He faces many adverse situations but he should not lose heart. Rather he should be patient and courageous to fight against them. The life of the great men whose name is written in gold letters in history teaches us that they attained greatness through patience and hard labour.
