Effort

Milton rose every day at 4 A.M. to ensure enough hours in the day to write Paradise Lost. 

Plato wrote and rewrote the first sentence of his famous Republic nine times before he was satisfied.

Gibbon spent 26 years writing the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire. 

 Cicero practiced speaking before friends every day for thirty years to perfect his elocution. 

Noah Webster labored 36 years writing his dictionary. 

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
