Momo Kuri San-nen Kaki Hachi-nen
Achieving goals often takes a reasonable number of years.
The Japanese proverb, momo kuri san-nen kaki hachi-nen (桃栗三年柿八年), expresses such a fact.
Since momo (桃) means "peach," kuri (栗) means "chestnut," san-nen (三年) means "three years," 'kaki" (柿) means "persimmon," and hachi-nen (八年) means "eight years," the literal meaning of this proverb is "peaches and chestnuts need three years, and persimmon needs eight years."
Just like it takes three years to harvest peaches/chestnuts and eight years to harvest persimmons after sowing the seeds, everything takes a reasonable number of years to achieve results.
Please consider using this proverb if you find someone in a hurry because of a lack of results.
