Accepted Answer

Don't give up on your model for the Young Inventors contest. Rome wasn't built in a day. Rome, the beautiful city on the Tiber River in Italy, was the capital of the Roman Empire. It took centuries for Rome to be built to its full glory. There's a lesson in that. If "Rome wasn't built in a day," then you should be willing to persevere when you're working on a project. Major accomplishments don't happen overnight. Two similar proverbs are, "where there's a will, there's a way" and "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again."
