　　The Big is the Little

　　Nothing can be done except little by little, the French poet Baudelaire Charles once said. Most people, however, often ignore such a truth. So does the little boy shown in the picture. He expresses his worries to his father about disposing¹ of nuclear waste, but is told that he can achieve nothing if he doesn’t empty the dustbin² first.

　　Every single little thing you can do today matters. The truth has been tested for ages, and thousands of great people have set good examples for us. For instance³, Leonardo da Vinci, the world-renowned master in painting, starts his career with repeated egg-drawing. Lu Xun, the great man of letters, reminded himself to get up early by inscribing⁴ the character “morning” on his desk.

　　As university students, in my opinion, we should aim high, but at the same time, we shall never measure a task by its size. All in all, only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly⁵ will acquire⁶ the skill to do difficult things easily.
