Roots and Fruits

You can't have the fruits without having the roots.  You can't expect to be used without being prepared.

Fruits are success.  Roots are the work that you put in to get the success that you want.  The more work that you put in, the more success that you get out.  And you can't expect to get what you want - results, playing time, opportunities, wins, etc. - without being prepared and putting the work in.

Do the work to get what you want.
