SUCCESSFUL ACTION IS CUMULATIVE IN RESULTS
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. 
Many people take the first step and then stop. Yet, with every additional step you take, you enhance immensely the value of your first step. 

All masters of success are chiefly distinguished by their power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a forth step in a continuous line. 

There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession is the rule of life. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures. 

Do not despise the bottom rings in your ascent to greatness.
