Welcome Unit
A thousand-mile journey
begins with the first step.
How do you understand the sentence?
It means that even though the task or challenge ahead of us may look immense, it is actually completed with a series of small advances.
Further, it cannot be completed at all unless we begin---unless we take that first step.
“A huge tree grows out of a small shoot;
A nine-storied tower rises from a heap of earth;
A thousand-mile journey begins with the first step.”
合抱之木,生于毫末;
九层之台,起于累土;
千里之行,始于足下。
What’s your first step?
