Though the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh is now considered a master, he was essentially unknown in his own time.

Van Gogh’s story urges us to play the long game: Though we may not see our work pay off right away, the effort we put in adds up over time, leading us to our goals whether we can immediately see the path or not.
