DARING TO BEGIN
The journey of a thousand miles has to begin only with the first step. The 10,000-metre marathon too starts with the humble first step. Several ‘prospective successful persons’ in the past did not go much further because of THAT one step – they dared not take it (for reasons of several kinds) and were all-content to remain eternally ‘the prospective’ for the success that awaited them. They all ended up just where they were. The fear of attempting something big (in the case of some and something new in the case of others) – had immobilized them!
To begin a task is usually the toughest step. That is why we have sayings like, A GOOD START IS HALF THE BATTLE WON and WELL BEGUN IS HALF DONE. That again is why many people who ‘dared to begin’ DID make a mark – even in cases where it needed another to COMPLETE the good work.
