I'm a plodder, not a planner.
You never wanna rise to the top too fast in anything.
The longest journey begins with a single step, not with a turn of the ignition key.
Excellence happens when you try each day to both do and be, a little better than you were yesterday!
Sciences usually advances by a succession of small steps, through a fog in which even the most keen-sighted explorer can seldom see more than a few paces ahead. Occasionally the fog lifts, an eminence is gained, and a wider stretch of territory can be surveyed-sometimes with startling results. A whole science may then seem to undergo a kaleidoscopic rearrangement, fragments of knowledge sometimes being found to fit together in a hitherto unsuspected manner. Sometimes the shock of readjustment may spread to other sciences; sometimes it may divert the whole current of human thought.
Better may not be as good as the best, but better is surprisingly hard to obtain. And better is actually harder than worse.
All real progress must be slow.
The power of a man increases steadily by continuing in one direction.
People tend to lock into one thing that you do that they consider to be better than the last one.
There is a succession of experiences which together constitute the educational and developmental ripening of the learner, according to the Sufis. People who think that each gain is the goal itself will freeze at any such stage, and cannot learn through successive and superseding lessons.
When the mind grapples with a great and intricate problem, it makes its advances step by step, with but little realization of the gains it has made, until suddenly, with an effect of abrupt illumination, it realizes its victory.
I feel like I try to keep learning every time I step off a runway, I try to get better with each one.
