The true nature of small.

 So we look at skyscrapers then we get the impression that our world is big; then we look at mountains , islands and we get even more convinced that of the illusion. We then see the vast  bodies of the oceans and the sky and we conclude that Earth is a big planet and  perhaps consider the possibility that the sun is revolving around us. Well, we all know that its not true. Infact in 1990 as the Voyager I space probe was leaving the solar system, it was made to turn back and take a picture. On that photograph (above) our 'big' earth appeared as a tiny , pale blue dot. Yes, Everything we know of is stuffed on that 0.12 pixels dot. However, the most intelligent, most inquisitive and intuitive creatures the universe has had are not found giant Jupiter or Neptune but on that blue dot . This only means one thing; small is not the same as insignificant. 
We all want great things in life, we have big dreams and sometimes they just seem too big to be realistic. When this crosses your mind just remember that everything big started small. Every great ending has a humble beginning. Bill Gates started Microsoft in his college room, same story with Mark Zuckerberg and all the big names that we hear of today. They all  convey one message; there is no shame in small. Everything starts small, a book starts with a paragraph, a dollar starts with a penny, we are born small and grow older with every sunrise. Small may appear insignificant, but it has potential, lots of potential. 
Henri Frederic Amiel, a wise Swiss poet once wrote, "What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of a gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution." I can't add onto that but all I can say is value what you do no matter how small it seems, because the truth is every second and every step of the way counts.
