“The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones”, Confucius
It is illegal to take anything natural from the Canadian Rockies. You are not allowed to even pick up a stone and keep it as a souvenir. Sounds absurd, doesn’t it. Around 16 million people visit the Canadian Rockies every year. If everyone pick up one stone, what will happen to the mountains over time. The will shrink rapidly and the natural environment will change. Small changes have a big impact.
Suppose you save $1 per day. That is $365 per year, $7,300 over 20 years. $1 per day invested with 10% annual return will grow to $22,781 over 20 years. A small act of saving just $1 every day will pay for your child’s bachelor degree.
If you commit to making small improvements in your life every month, over time you will become a person you could not recognize today. A baby who cannot speak, walk, or even blow its nose can grow up to become Confucius, Julius Caesar, or Albert Einstein. Through small daily changes, the baby becomes very wise, very powerful, or very knowledgeable.
What small incremental changes do you need to make to achieve your goals?
