Growth = F(Time, Efforts, Luck)

We are all in a race to achieve prosperity, putting forth our best efforts to obtain that desired result. However, not all of us achieve what we strive for. We often face setbacks regarding the final outcome and may regret the time and effort spent. Yet, we must realize that Growth is a Function of Efforts, Time, and Luck. The true joy of success lies not just in the end result, but in the factors that influence it.

The amount of effort we put into a task builds both expectation and motivation. When we work on something that interests us, it boosts our energy. This process inevitably involves trials and errors; each time we falter, we learn something new that we had never experienced before. That is how we learn and grow in life.

Time is a crucial element, though we often realize its importance only after it has passed. It is often said that success is about being at the right place at the right time. We must be precise about how much time a task requires; by respecting the complexity of each sub-task, we can allocate our time effectively across the entire project. If we manage our time well, we increase our chances of success. But even if we don't reach the goal, we can be satisfied knowing we did justice to the work within the given schedule.

Luck is something that is not in our hands. Since we cannot genuinely control it, we should not blame it either. We are only expected to pursue our goals using the time and effort available to us.

If we reach our destiny, that is wonderful. But if we don't, it doesn't matter—because the act of trying is an achievement in itself. Even if we don't get what we intended, the journey exposes us to lessons we never would have learned otherwise.

Ultimately, growing is a learning process that evolves as time passes, shaped by the amount of experience we gain and our understanding of what favors us and what does not.
