Summary

This quote highlights the power of accumulating small actions or contributions over time. It emphasizes that even though each individual effort may seem insignificant, when combined with others, they can have a significant impact.

It encourages us to recognize the value of small steps and reminds us that great achievements are often the culmination of many small, incremental efforts.
