Here's the audio of a wonderful motivational poem by John Burroughs. It's called 'Waiting'.

The message of the poem is this.



If you have set goals, and are doing the things that need to be done every day to achieve your goals, and you're still not seeing any results, don't despair. Your results are your own, they belong to you, and they will appear when it is time. They are accumulating. It's just that you do not see them yet.



If a seed is planted in the soil, it will grow into a plant and then into a tree. There is no other way. That's how nature works. After the night will come the day. Just as the stars shine every night, and just as the tidal waves flow unto the sea, so nature drives everything as it is meant to be. So also, it is a given, and there is no debating about it. It is how nature works. What you are doing is going to bear fruit. There's no doubt about it. Just don't despair and panic. And don't give up just yet. Sometimes, you've got to take a step back and chill out. Just learn to wait.
