The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that success cannot be achieved quickly or effortlessly. It suggests that there are no shortcuts to success and one must consistently work hard, taking small steps towards their goals. The metaphor of the "elevator to success" being out of order emphasizes the importance of patience, perseverance, and the willingness to put in the necessary effort. Success is not instantaneous, but rather a result of continuous and gradual progress, much like climbing stairs one step at a time.
