Confucius says, the journey of a thousand mile begin with a single step.

Winners take responsibility. Losers place blame.

Indeed….. My trading choices improved a lot when I started taking responsibility rather than feeling "unlucky" most of the time
A Chinese proverb
“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step”
The true meaning
People never fully appreciate or grasp the true meaning, given the wrong first step begins a journey that could end as far as two thousand miles from where they want to be.
First step
"Make sure your first step is not a misstep.”
Skate
The first step is often a misstep. The first few hundred miles could very well be heading the wrong way.
That's where U-turn, crosscroads, new shoes and final destinations are for
I always took the proverb to mean that no journey was ever accomplished "over night", nor done in a single step. Just have to have an idea of where you want to go and start walking.
My Definition
Endeavour = is an attempt to achieve a goal or achieve something
A Chinese proverb is cryptic
“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step”
Luutzu, the real meaning is left up to the reader to interpret the proverb - my take is:to start any 'endeavour' you must first start.
The message in my previous post was this:
"Make sure your first step is not a misstep.”
Luutzu, thanks for the alternative spin.

English as a second language speaker here
In recent interpretation with slightly different phrasing, Confucius said, the journey of a thousand miles lay under your feet.
Or as Nike put it, Just Do It [trade marked].
Luutzu, that's what this thread is all about, alternative views & interpretations of the facts..
We come up with stories.
Our mind creates stories why we’re not where we want to be. Usually it starts off as, we’re not smart enough, successful enough, thin enough, rich enough, loved or loving enough.
Outside our control
Our stories almost always relate to something outside our control, or our lack of some natural talent or ability its those stories that hold us back most times.
Motivational quotes such as the one you have posted might just be the catalyst for change, well here's hoping.
Thanks Luutzu..

The mind is designed (and conditioned) to value negativity because negativity ensures survival. Therein, all of humanity's problems. Ask god why it would do such a peverse thing because I don't have the answer.
Sorry Skate I was being too sensitive. I have returned from my catchup. Which was his wedding at a registry. I was his witness.jbocker, my posts are general in nature & it's rare that they are directed at anyone.

"I've travelled down some lonely roads,
Both crooked tracks and straight.
An' I've learned life's noblest creed,
Summed up in one word … "Mate".
I'm thinking back across the years,
(a thing I do of late)
An' this word sticks between me ears;
You've got to have a "Mate".
Someone who'll take you as you are,
Regardless of your state,
An' stand as firm as Ayres Rock
Because 'e is your mate.
My mind goes back to '42,
To slavery and hate,
When man's one chance to stay alive
Depended on 'is Mate
With bamboo for a billy-can
An' bamboo for a plate.
A bamboo paradise for bugs
Was bed for me and "Mate".
You'd slip and slither through the mud
And curse your rotten fate,
But then you'd 'ear a quiet word:
"Don't drop your bundle Mate."
And though it's all so long ago,
This truth I 'ave to state:
A man don't know what lonely means
Til 'e has lost his "Mate".
If there's a life that follers this, If there's a Golden Gate,
The welcome I just want to 'ear
Is just, "Good on y' Mate."
An' so to all that ask me why
We keep these special dates,
Like "Anzac Day" …
I answer: "WHY??! - We're thinking of our MATES."
An' when I've left the driver's seat,
An' handed in me plates,
I'll tell ol' Peter at the door,
"I've come to join me Mates."
"
I'll tell ol' Peter at the door,
"I've come to join me Mates."
I like little words of Wisdom. I like the Wisdom Skate is posting. I just need to take the time to read the rest. Thank you Skate!
