Do it right
It usually takes longer to do it right. And yet when you do
it right it lasts much longer too.
It usually takes more effort to do it right. And yet when
you do it right the effort is never wasted.
Often, you have to go against the crowd if you are to do it
right. And yet, in time, the world will come to appreciate
and value what you have done.
You will probably have to make short-term sacrifices in
order to do it right. Yet the long-term, continuing benefits
you receive are well worth the cost.
People who would rather take shortcuts will resent you for
doing it right. Yet they will come to understand your wisdom
when their own shortsightedness fails them.
It takes initiative and courage to do it right. And in
return you attain a level of achievement that cannot be
reached any other way.
