Power up with Proverbs

Proverbs store the refined wisdom of the ages in short, memorable lines. Often they have several layers of understanding. This blog features a weekly proverb and explores its meaning. Sir Winston Churchill, the former British Prime Minister, war leader, writer, painter, historian, bon viveur, and very good bricklayer, recommended that people who lacked formal education should acquire a good stock of proverbs. "The Wisdom of Nations lies in their Proverbs... Collect and learn them". William Penn

Little chips light great fires

Little chips light great fires

Stone Age man discovered this hundreds of thousands of years ago when he used two sticks and a lot of effort to start his tinder smoking. Add little dry pieces of wood and very soon you can burn whole trees.

This principle of starting small and gradually building up has been used countless times through countless ages by countless people - it works. The problem is that it needs patience and persistence so many people give up too soon. If you know that something really does work it is necessary to give it the time and effort it needs.

You too can experience the pleasure and satisfaction of a great blaze in whatever field of interest you choose if you get the little chips working for you.
