Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement Free Audiobook Download by Rich Karlgaard

"This book was written with the conviction that your life will be better because you waited," [the narrator] said. "That it might not be as easy or quick as you might have thought, but better."

Being constantly surrounded by consumers that have taken the shortcut to success, it's easy to feel like you should be in the same place. But there are lots of different paths to success and nothing beats patience. Brands like Apple, Amazon and Starbucks took a long time to find their footing but were very patient in their approach. The book shares some of the stories behind these brands as well as others including Southwest Airlines, General Electric and Viacom.

You can't rush genius, whether or not you achieve it overnight. There is no quick fix to fame and fortune in this world. You have to work hard for your dreams and be patient in achieving them.

It is a known fact that if you start trying at a young age and have little to no patience you are likely to lead an unhappy life. In this infographic, The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement by Rich Karlgaard, is presented as a key quality for success.

"The past is the only real place to which we can return," according to writer Zora Neale Hurston. In her 1937 book, Dust Tracks on a Road, Hurston discussed how the present world was obsessed with "early achievement" and how such an obsession had led to the stunted development of the greats in America's past - for example, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.

The central thesis of this book is that success is not a static condition, but a journey. In an age obsessed with early achievement and ever-increasing production rates, author Rich Karlgaard argues that it takes a lot of focus and patience to achieve success in any field. Late Bloomers offers a guide for those who want to know what they need to do in order to achieve their goals.
