I learned while editing the November issue. Every single month, I discover new things while working on my magazine. However, this November, the lessons came different and unique.
I learned that if you want success, you gotta be patient.
It came up in interviews and events I attended for this issue. While taking part in the sophisticated events in Doha, meeting multiple highly talented people, and listening to their stories, I realized the notion that “you have to earn success".
Today, there’s this idea of having everything quickly, and finding shortcuts to get it fast. It's all but not realistic.
While meeting the youth, I get this strong and powerful vibe from them that hard, consistent, and sustained work pays off may sound obvious, but it isn’t -not these days. My young fellows get easily awestruck when reality shows and 18-year-old social media influencers become billionaires. This quick success persuades today's youth that fame, and fortune can be express-tracked.
