“Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.”

Buddha

Simplified Meaning:

When you try to fill a bucket with water, you might think it would take a long time if you only add one drop at a time. However, with patience and time, the bucket eventually becomes full. This idea applies to how we improve ourselves and our lives. Small, positive actions, even if tiny, add up over time. For example, if you want to learn a new language, studying a little bit each day will eventually add up, and you'll find yourself speaking and understanding more as the days go by. It's important to recognize that significant progress often comes from small, consistent efforts rather than big, sudden changes. Like planting a small seed and watering it daily, the plant grows steadily. To improve oneself or accomplish a goal, focus on making small, steady progress each day.
