When eating an elephant take one bite at a time.

When eating an elephant take one bite at a time.

Summary

This quote is a metaphorical way of saying that when facing a daunting or overwhelming task, it is best to break it down into smaller, manageable parts. Just as one cannot eat an entire elephant in one sitting, tackling a big project or problem all at once can be overwhelming and ineffective. By taking one bite at a time, or focusing on small, achievable goals, the task becomes more manageable and less intimidating. It emphasizes the importance of patience, perseverance, and step-by-step progress to accomplish a larger goal.
