Today I visited the Stone Stele Records of Imperial Examinations of the Lê and Mạc dynasties in Hanoi, Vietnam. These stelae commemorate doctoral laureates from royal examinations held between 1442 and 1779. Each stele is mounted on a stone tortoise, a symbol of longevity and wisdom.
The point is - It takes time and patience to achieve our goals!
