　　The importance of doing small things before undertaking something big

　　We can see from the illustration there is a father talking to his son. Having heard his son's words "Dad, I am a bit worried about disposing of nuclear weapons", the father replies, "If you can empty the dustbin here, you can do anything", pointing the garbage can beside him.

　　Funny and common as the conversation sounds, it reflects that the father intends to advise his son to do small things before undertaking the big. Unquestionably, doing small things is the first step of success and will lay root for doing something big. By doing something small, we are enabled to accumulate experience, master skills and train ourselves to be more patient. In other word, we can be well prepared for further challenges in the course of fulfilling small things. By contrast, those who set out to do something big will be constantly haunted by disappointment, frustrations or even failures. As when opportunity "something big" appears, they can hardly seize them because of the lack of experience and confidence stems from doing small things. Taking the picture presented above as a case in point, how can the little boy succeed in disposing of nuclear weapons if he even doesn't know how to empty the dustbin?

　　From my perspective, under no circumstances should we undervalue the power of doing small things. Instead, we should regard small things as the source of experience, skills and the prerequisite of success. "Great achievement only belongs to those who can do small things perfectly." Aristotle once said.
