Jean Alesi Quotes

Nature herself has never attempted to effect great changes rapidly.

I'm an advocate of evolutionary, not revolutionary, changes.

It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.

Development is an endurance exercise with incremental improvements.

The first time I try anything is invariably not very successful. I tend to grow slowly, but solidly.

Sometimes making progress a step at a time is better than no progress at all.

I think you have to improve every day a little bit so you don't have one day where there's a big thing coming.

I have always said that, more than 'big bang' reforms, it is every day what is happening, changing on the ground.

If I could just get better a little bit each year, then I did my job.

Most work is not coming up with The Next Big Thing. Rather, it's improving the thing you already thought of six months - or six years - ago. It's the work of work.

You have to keep working all the time. How much you learn, there is always room for learning; you will have to keep improving all the time.

Change is incremental. Change is small.

The way to do a great deal is to keep on doing a little. The way to do nothing at all is to be continually resolving that you will do everything.

Anything worth doing does not have to be done perfectly - at first.

All real progress must be slow.

All good work is done the way ants do things: Little by little.

Take action every day - some small dose at a time.

You don't have to be brilliant, only a little bit wiser than the other guys, on average, for a long, long, time.

Start by thinking of the smallest possible action you could take; then, take it. Then, choose the next smallest action, and do that.

You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By becoming a little better each and every day, over a period of time, you will become a lot better.

Even though you try very hard, the progress you make is always little by little. It is not like going out in a shower in which you know when you get wet. In a fog, you do not know you are getting wet, but as you keep walking you get wet little by little. If your mind has ideas of progress, you may say, 'Oh, this pace is terrible!' But actually it is not. When you get wet in a fog it is very difficult to dry yourself.

Remember to dream big, think long-term, underachieve on a daily basis, and take baby steps. That is the key to long-term success.

You need a combination of many things to get good results. Experience is one of these, and it can be very useful at the right moment. I don't know if it helps to go faster, but for sure it's an important element that has helped me a lot. Being experienced helps you to make fewer mistakes when you are on track. This is the positive side for being around for so many years!

Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.

Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve.
