Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.
Take great comfort in knowing that ALL great feats are accomplished one small step at a time.
It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.
I've found that small wins, small projects, small differences often make huge differences.
Start by thinking of the smallest possible action you could take; then, take it. Then, choose the next smallest action, and do that.
It's important for people to realize I don't want to be the It guy. I want to crawl before I walk. I want to learn about things before I jump into them.
They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time.
All good work is done the way ants do things: Little by little.
There is no sudden leap into the stratosphere... There is only advancing step by step, slowly and tortuously, up the pyramid toward your goals.
The great art to learn much is to undertake a little at a time.
I think short-term goals are important. Trying to set a missive for yourself for the entire year can be daunting, and it can feel too easy to fail or fall short of that.
I always follow the same idea: Start small and disrupt to create something big.
We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once.
The chief art of learning, as Locke has observed, is to attempt but little at a time. The widest excursions of the mind are made by short flights frequently repeated; the most lofty fabrics of science are formed by the continued accumulation of single propositions.
Pick a goal, make a realistic plan to reach that goal, work through each step of the plan, and repeat.
You got to start by doing little things if your quest is to take over the world.
I like incremental improvements or at least seeing where you're going to go and really being able to understand what's feasible at the time.
Formulate a specific game plan... the specific steps in making your intention come to life.
People get so focused on the big dream that they forget about the process.
The best teachers have showed me that things have to be done bit by bit. Nothing that means anything happens quickly--we only think it does. The motion of drawing back a bow and sending an arrow straight into a target takes only a split second, but it is a skill many years in the making. So it is with a life, anyone's life.
I am not thinking too far ahead, just want to take it one thing at a time.
It's difficult to change overnight but if you are persistent and take one step at a time you will see results!
We're going to start with small, easy things; then, little by little we shall try our hand at the big things. And after that, after we finish the big things, we shall undertake the impossible.
You don't need a grand plan, you don't need to go back to the ancestors and rewrite the rules. You just need to take small steps and accumulate small wins.
I tell everybody take it one game at a time.
