very insightful. it is key that people know the importance and place of time and effort in relation to producing their desired result. However it is a really dicey subject for me, in the sense that we all have different concept of time. Also, I believe effort doesn't always equal good result. one might be heavily invested in an idea or initiative but it doesn't materialise. We have seen a lot of good project amount to nothing. so I try to maintain a neutral ground on this issue which is:

most things in life are not certain. Be prepared for disappointments but that should not deter you from giving your best.
