Pipi ka wahie, ho'onui ka pulupulu.

Keep trying until you succeed.
In these days of instant gratification, waiting two or three seconds for a computer to work seems like a lifetime. Yet, the value of patience is much needed in this world. This is a problem for parents to deal with in working with children born in this generation. "Are we there yet?" "When are we getting there?" "It's taking so long!" "I checked on it a long time ago." How long is long ago?
Patience leads to appreciation for long awaited results. Sometimes, we do not know the impact of our efforts until years or decades later. Working toward success is an ongoing effort with the definition of success not necessarily dependent upon monetary return.
