“If you cannot do great things yourself, remember that you may do small things in a great way.” Napoleon Hill
It is easy to see greatness in a finished product, easy to forget that the creation was incremental. This quote is a nice reminder that greatness is a culmination of smaller, “bite-sized” components, that appearances aside, greatness is granular. I’m trying to think of an exception and can’t come up with one. The Great Sand Dunes are grains of sand. The Great Wall of China is a collection of grains of materials formed into a wall. A great piano player achieves greatness one lesson at a time, a great writer one word (or one letter, one thought) at a time….
It is easy to be intimidated by greatness. I can’t always be great, but I can be granular. Then the greatness will take care of itself.
It occurs to me...
