Rome was not built in a day - May 25th

Hi! Have you ever heard of the title, "Rome was not built in a day"? It's the proverb/idiom used in everywhere in the world now. Let me explain about this proverb.

The Orgin of This Proverb

This proverb was familiar to French proverb, 'Rome was not made all in one day,' which was recorded in 'Li Proverbe au Vilain' (c. 1190). The English version did not appear until three centuries later, when Richard Taverner said 'Rome was not buylt in one day,'. This is the orgin of this proverb.

This proverb means that...

Any great plan or big dream cannot be achieved overnight or easily.

many things cannot be done instantly, and require time and patience.

It takes a long time to create something complicated or impressive.

You can’t build a good thing in a short period or maybe even in one attempt. You have to give try many time to make it perfect rather then being in a hurry to do something and getting disappointed.

If you want to achieve something, or if you have a goal in life then work hard to achieve it and if your goal is really far fectched or you expect perfect results then it will take some time because Rome wasn’t built overnight.

There is some example....

My sister was in hospital as a teenager and she asked her doctor why she needed to wait so long for her operation. He replied, Rome wasn't built in a day. Meaning, there are lots more patients waiting and you have to take your place in the queue.

Friend:“Are you still working on that same painting?”
The Painter: “Hey! Rome was not built in one day!”

Kevin (It really happened…): I am going to study my big test in one day!
My friend: “Rome was not built in one day!” “You’ll get bad grades!” (True…)

Maybe now, you should know what's the meaning of this proverb.... Thanks! ^^
