Little by little and step by step

"If you add a little to a little and do it often enough you can become skilled, learned or rich. A little practice every day makes the champion athlete; a little learning every day makes the scientist; a little saving every day makes the millionaire."

"Champions know there are no shortcuts to the top. They climb the mountain one step at a time. They have no use for helicopters!" - Judi Adler

"One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks." - Jack Penn

"The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs... one step at a time." - Joe Girard

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for giving me your feedback. I really appreciate it.

I had chosen this quote because I had the understanding that the message is telling us that Success really needs continuous effort and commitment. Of course if an elevator is available then it may bring one up (achieving success) fast! However, in real life, that elevator (shortcuts) is not available although many (including myself) are still looking for it.

In Office, one needs an elevator to get to a particular floor fast especially a high-rise building. However, many may reached their office, but many may not have achieve their goals in their life.

Best Wishes
