We've all seen it before - the seemingly harmless trickle of a single droplet of water left overnight on a pail would overflow a bucket the next day!
I call this the power of small efforts producing gigantic results over time.
In our life, this is similar to making small but consistent effort to improve oneself everyday.
1. If you want to lose weight, start by leaving maybe 1 spoonful of food on your plate. In one day, that's 3 spoonful. In 365 days, that's 1095 spoonful. If one plate is approximately 12 spoonful, this translates to not eating 90 plates of meal in one year!!
2. If you want to make earn money, then start by saving 1 dollar per day. That would translate to 365 dollars in a year. May not be significant but if you increase to 10 dollars, the number becomes 3650. that's 10X more!
3. If you want to improve yourself, then start by enrolling in small classes that enrich your knowledge. One subject or one course in a year. Baby steps leading to greater strides over time.
Like the tortoise and the hare stories, small steady strides could win the day!
