Livemint has published a 'quote of the day' feature built around Nikola Tesla's saying that a new idea must not be judged by its immediate results.
The piece explains that Tesla, known for alternating current and other foundational technologies, faced repeated setbacks and believed innovation needs patience and long-term vision.
The article argues this message is relevant today, when people often chase instant results in business, careers, and personal goals, and cites examples like Airbnb and Netflix as ideas that were initially doubted.
