"In Front of Excellence, the Immortal Gods have put Sweat.
And Long and Steep is the Way To It - And Hard at First.
But When You Come to the Top - Then It Is Easy,
'Even Though It Is Hard' ! "
Hesiod 750-650 BC
As True Today as it was Over 2800 years ago.
* Modern Translation: 'Nothing That's Hard is Easy !'
