Everyone knows about Usain Bolt right?
He has won 9 gold medals in last 3 Olympics and he has run less than 2 mins on the track. That's economy of effort.
He ran for less than 115 secs in total in his 3 Olympics and made $119 million dollars! That's more than $1 million for each second he ran!
But for those 2 mins he trained for 20+ years!
This is called investment.
Think long term. Patience pays for sure :)
