Harvard University teachers often say to students in class: "success is not achieved overnight. If we can make a little progress every day - even 1% progress, what can stop us from finally becoming successful?" A little progress every day is not a big goal, nor is it difficult to achieve. Maybe yesterday's "I" also tried hard and achieved gratifying results, but today's I must surpass yesterday's "I" and make more progress and enrichment. Every day of life should be full of new things. A little progress every day is enough. On the road of life, a little progress every day is a steady and continuous progress. "If you don't advance, you will fall back". As long as you are moving forward, no matter how small your progress is, it doesn't matter, but you must move forward a little bit than yesterday. Life must also continue to make small efforts every day in order to achieve something. As long as we make a little progress every day, we will make a little progress 365 times a year. If we continue to do so, any gap in our lives may be hundreds of thousands of miles in a few years. A little bit every day is what we need to learn and what we need to do all our lives. Everyone is ordinary by nature. Don't imagine that you will suddenly be reborn and become a genius. You know, from ordinary to excellent to excellent, all you need to do is make a little progress every day. In the 1985 American Professional Basketball League, the Los Angeles Lakers won the championship with their players' top skills. But in the final, he unexpectedly lost to Boston's Celtics, which made coach Patrick Reilly and all the players extremely frustrated. Petrelli is a coach hired by the Lakers with an annual salary of $1.2 million. He will never let himself and his players stagnate in frustration. In order to restore the confidence of the players, he told everyone: "from today on, can we make a little progress in free throws, passing, steals, rebounds, long shots, and every aspect?" The player granted his request without hesitation. In the next year's training, the players always keep the spirit of "making a little progress" and constantly improve their skills. Finally, in the 1986 American Professional Basketball League, the Lakers lived up to expectations and easily won the championship. When paitrelli won the championship, he said to the players: "our success is not accidental. Think about it, our 12 players have made 1% progress in five technical links in a year, so one player has made 5% progress, and the whole team has made 60% progress. The Lakers, who are at the peak of their skills, have increased 60% or even higher, so it is natural for us to achieve unexpected results." A little progress every day sounds like there is no spirit, no tempting fruits, no sensational momentum. But after careful consideration, it says that people should be consistent and realistic. A little progress every day is the accumulation of success from childhood to great success; A little progress every day is the accumulation of self-confidence; Making a little progress every day is dismissing failure and frustration; A little progress every day is the best way to achieve a perfect life. At Harvard, students have such a consensus: every day there is a bit of progress, which can not only give full play to their internal potential, but also accumulate capital for success. Indeed, success is a little progress every day - as long as I make a little progress today than yesterday, and I can make a little progress tomorrow than today, this process is success.
