Every big accomplishment is a series of little accomplishments. To achieve maximum success you must accept that progress is made one step at a time. A building is built one brick at a time. Football games are won one play at a time. A business grows bigger one customer at a time. You walk over the highest mountain one step at a time. Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out. Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or an apple miraculously appears. If you want to grow an apple, you must give it time. There must be time for it to blossom, bear fruit and then ripen. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.
