The little opportunities
Each day is filled with opportunities to make a difference. 
Many of those opportunities may seem small and 
insignificant, yet you have no way of knowing where they can 
lead.
Life's big opportunities rarely come to you as such. The 
vast majority of the big opportunities start out very small 
and must be lovingly nurtured. 
Be willing to take care of the little things, and your 
effectiveness at doing so will put you in a position to 
influence the big things. Figure out how to make just a 
little, ordinary, positive contribution and you'll be well 
on your way to big, extraordinary achievements. 
There is never any need to beg anyone for the chance to 
prove yourself. Life gives you ample opportunities for doing 
so in every moment. 
Let go of the assumption that your time is too valuable for 
you to be bothered with the little things. Remember that the 
little things can make the difference between success and 
failure. 
Hold on to the biggest, most ambitious vision you can 
imagine. And be willing to get your hands dirty doing the 
little things that will make that it happen.
