Laozi was a famous philosopher during the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are many interesting legends about his name. It is said that Laozi's mother, Li, was washing clothes one day by the river at the head of the village when she suddenly saw a yellow plum floating downstream. Li was busy using a tree branch to fish up the fist-sized yellow plum. At noon, Li was hot and thirsty, so she ate the plum. From then on, Li was pregnant. After eighty-one years of pregnancy, she gave birth to a boy. The boy was born with white eyebrows and white hair and a big white beard. Therefore, she named him "Lao Zi". When Laozi was born, he could speak, and pointing to a plum tree in the yard, he said to his mother, "Li is my surname."
Laozi later became an official of the Zhou Dynasty, who was the "Historian of the Treasury", an official who managed the collection of books. This was an official position to manage the collection of books. Because of this, Laozi was very knowledgeable and had a great reputation at that time. When Confucius was young, he once paid a special visit to Laozi and asked him to teach him the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty.
Laozi wrote a book of only 5,000 words named Tao Te Ching. The book talks about many truths that can inspire people. Lao Tzu said, "The wood that holds together is born from the end of a millimeter; the platform of nine layers rises from the tired earth; and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Meaning, the arms of the tree, from the tiny buds began to grow; many layers of the platform, from the first basket of soil began to build up; thousands of miles away, from the first step under the feet to complete the journey. Here, Lao Tzu used vivid examples to show that things are from small to large development and change.
Later generations will be "a thousand miles of travel, began with the foot" as an idiom, the metaphor is that things always start from the beginning, the gradual development.

A thousand miles of travel, began with a foot 4There is an ancient saying: "A thousand miles of travel, began with a foot." The truth of this sentence is: do anything, the key in the first step. The world, a multitude of people, everyone has their own worldview.

The wisdom of the ancients has never lost his value due to the passage of time, and now savoring this sentence, the reason is in it, indeed.
It is a wonderful thing that people have great ideals, but as an ordinary us, have you ever agonized that we are too far away from our dreams? Have you ever stood blankly on the seashore, looking across the river at the ideal, seeing that it is so unattainable?
The story of McDonald's founder, Crocker, tells me, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
As a young man scrubbing tables in a fast-food restaurant, Kroc struggled with the fact that he wanted to be a boss, but didn't want to accept the reality. His father taught him, 'How can you be a boss if you can't wipe tables well?" He later took his table-wiping job seriously and ended up founding his own restaurant company, McDonald's, which has branches all over the world.
"If a house is not cleaned, how can it be cleaned?" Even the greatest ideals should be put into action in every little thing around. The road to success is very long, like the ladder, far away into the distance, how you can not see the end of it. And we have the ideal seed, standing at the beginning of the ladder, full of passion for forward striving, but also for the current situation feel helpless, confused. If you don't take a single step, how can you know what kind of gorgeous scenery is at the end of the ladder? If you don't take a step, how do you know you won't reach your goal?

Although you can not see how the tree grows, but year after year, you will find it has a huge change. The nutrients it increasingly accumulates are all in preparation for its own' growth.
Perhaps, on the road of chasing dreams, you are confused and lost. Perhaps, in the challenge of suffering on the road, you disappointment, frustration. But to believe that the daily insignificant efforts are not in vain, the road to growth is very long, we are learning, growing. Please keep an undying ambition, full of passion to face the challenge. We all understand that "three feet of ice, not a day's cold" reasoning, but also appreciate the "water dripping stone" perseverance and hard work.
Butterflies emerge from the cocoon, shedding so much sweat, tears, because of a pair of exquisite wings. And we are still on the road, we need to do a good job on every little thing at hand, because I believe that, no matter how far away the dream is, the road is underfoot.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.6Xiao Qiang, who graduated from a top university, entered a large-scale restaurant chain group. I didn't expect the boss to ask him to go into the kitchen and start from washing dishes. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, thinking that he was at least from a prestigious university, and his academic performance wasn't bad, so how could the boss use him like that? The result is to resign immediately without saying anything.
This restaurant chain group of new employees, even if the boss's own family, are to enter the kitchen from the dishwasher to start. The company's owner feels that only those who start at the bottom will be able to fully understand the company's operating model and know how to bring people in.
In fact, the boss was originally very optimistic about Xiao Qiang, but unfortunately, he was completely unable to understand the boss's painstaking efforts to make this arrangement.
Although it is true that there are some bosses who only want to squeeze the labor out of their employees, they like to use their talents as supplies. However, no matter who is young and inexperienced, they will not be entrusted with important tasks at the beginning of their career, even if they come from a top university and have beautiful academic results, they still have to start from the lowest level of work when they first come out of the society.
Perhaps some people are worried that they are being squeezed by their bosses, and they feel dissatisfied with the company's arrangements, and feel that they are being underestimated, and that the company is a waste of talent, and a waste of my valuable and short career, and they may even brush it off. This kind of person is surely not going to accomplish anything.
Even if you have been squeezed by a bad boss for a while, and you've done the so-called lowly work, the work experience will definitely come in handy for your career development.
In addition, a person again talented, are still have to start from the most humble and simple grass-roots work (unless you are a company small open, it happens to be your father's boss and you doted on you, once you graduated from the senior supervisor's title), which is not a waste of talent meaningless arrangements.
Starting from the grass-roots work, one is to rub off the youthful arrogance of the new high; the second is to experience the mood of grass-roots workers (the future to become managers to empathize with the leaders); the third is a small to see the big, from the bottom up to understand the company's organization; the fourth is the inspection of the work ethic and professional conduct (a simple work are not good, how to entrust the important task?); the fifth is to hone the care and attention to the work, and the work of the people. Fifth, it is to hone care and patience (simple routine work is most likely to make mistakes because of negligence and laziness); Sixth, it is to discover the strengths and weaknesses of the work ability before it is too late, so as to facilitate the enterprise to make further arrangements.
"No silicon step, no to a thousand miles". The so-called big things, to put it bluntly is actually accumulated by countless small things. Only those who faithfully and diligently do the little things one by one are qualified to undertake the big things. Even small things can not be well thought out to do well, and how can we be able to handle the big things steadily built?

Idioms by The Free Dictionary: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
Pinyin: qiān lǐ zhī xíng, shǐ yú zú xià
Simplified Pinyin: qlzxsyzx
Interpretation: A thousand-mile journey begins with a single step. The way to walk a thousand miles is to take the first step. It is a metaphor for the success of something, which is gradually accumulated from small to large.
Source: Laozi, Chapter 64: "The wood that holds together is born from the end of a millimeter; the platform of nine layers is started from the tired earth; the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step."
Example: A nine-tiered platform rises from the tired earth; ~. The sage has no constant mind, and takes the people's mind as his heart. When a reporter asked the old man with reverence how he managed to make the long journey, the old man said in the pure words of a farmer: I took the first step from home, and then I kept walking step by step, and finally I came here.
After reading this story, I admired the old man, but at the same time, I also thought y for a long time. Yes, the simple words reveal a profound philosophy and life enlightenment. Without action, there will be no success. With ideals and goals, should be down-to-earth, single-minded, perseverance to implement, to realize it. Even if the goal is very distant and remote, we should not be discouraged and lose the patience and confidence. Because I believe that even more distant distance, even more distant goal, it is also a constant distance, every day I insist on walking a distance, do some things, then this constant distance will not go to increase for no reason, will only be reduced day by day. And hope and victory but day by day to move closer to us, the probability of completing the ideal is increasing, but all the results of the premise is that you have patience, confidence, perseverance. Day by day in the heart of the ideal and hard work. As the saying goes: a plow, a harvest. Interpretation is such a truth.
The ideal of everyone has, but the success of a few people. The reason for this is that it is not a good idea to have a good time. The key lies in the action and pay. There is a saying: "Talking is wrong, doing is good". The history of the Warring States period on paper Zhao Kuo is a lesson from the past. Ideals and goals are important factors for success, but action and payment are the determining factors. It can be seen, pay more important than the ideal, because people's ideas and desires have millions of kinds, but the ideal of the real reason in mind is only one way, only you bravely take the first step, there will be countless steps later, to the end of the final success of the end.
So in short, the meaning of life is to achieve brilliant achievements, and the determinants of its realization is to practice and pay, you pay a little, the harvest will be how much. This theory comes from Einstein's theory of relativity. This is true of life, this is true of doing things, and this is even more true of success. Only if you are brave enough to take the first step, you will have the courage and confidence to keep going. The journey of a thousand miles is taken at the foot.
