As the saying goes “Patience is a virtue”. That saying is more true for Aaron Rodgers. After being drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the first round in 2005, he was a backup quarterback to Brett Favre, who at the time was the starter.
During that time for 3 years, he had to sit on the bench and look on as Favre was starting every game during his streak. Rodgers learned the system of the Packers and did not complain about it. He felt that his time was coming to be the starting quarterback of the Packers.
Then his opportunity finally came when Favre had announced his “retirement” from the NFL. It would have been a smooth transition if Favre did not change his mind and tried to hold the Packers hostage. In that drama, Rodgers kept his cool and handle the situation with class and dignity.
Rodgers did not fail to disappoint because he played very well during his three years as a starter. Then there is the Super Bowl when he passed for over 300 yards and 3 touchdowns, and led the Packers to victory and won the MVP.
His story shows that even if things don’t go your way immediately, you have to be patient and wait until the opportunity comes to shine. In the end , it will be more sweeter than you can ever imagine.
