Bottom to Top, That's How to Start

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Learn the basics first
Before aiming for the top
In that way, you’ll be well equipped
To face the challenges as you rise
And achieve what you aspire

Your identity will be remembered by the things you did well while you were still alive. Strive to do something that will make a distinction that is solely yours. Everyone has a chance to distinguish themselves in the role that they have, be it small or big and you can stand out by the way you give credence to the part that is entrusted to you.

Do not aspire for bigger responsibilities first, thinking you can excel yourself when you are there.  Start small and aim high. Do good at small tasks and then you will be entrusted with bigger tasks as you accomplish them well. There is no one who triumphed at the top, who didn’t succeed first at minor triumphs below.

Don’t try to jump over these minor obstacles because they are learning points for you and are essential and useful for the bigger challenges ahead.  Who knows how to skip rope without experiencing false jumps and tangled ropes first? You have to excel at the basics of every job or game or whatever endeavor you are starting before you can move on to the next level.

No one goes directly to the top level and moves down to first level. Have you heard of someone doing that? Master the basics first, while aiming for the top.
