Today, when researching a start-up idea, I came across a quote by Marian Wright Edelman:
We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.She is a longtime children's rights advocate, and was talking about activism, but her advice is equally good for every job seeker.
There are moments, and even days, where big progress is just not happening. You have to stay dedicated and have faith that all the little things that you are doing will pay off. We all try to second-guess the process and work on the 'biggest bang' items, the big things. But we can't foresee everything, and sometimes just keeping going creates success.
