“Fortunate are those who take the first steps.”
— Paulo Coelho
Simplified Meaning:
People who are brave enough to start something new might find themselves lucky or successful. Imagine you’ve always wanted to try painting, but you keep putting it off because you're scared you won't be good at it. One day, you finally pick up a brush and give it a go. This act of just starting can lead to unexpected rewards, like discovering you’re really talented or feeling proud for trying something new. Another example is when someone starts a small business. Even if they don’t know everything at first, the fact that they began is already a big step toward their dreams. They can learn and grow from there, but they have to take that first step to get anywhere at all. In life, action can often lead to good opportunities and experiences. So, even if you're afraid or unsure, taking the first step can open up many possibilities.
