The mistake of trying to build before laying the foundation...
Great Thoughts
The mistake of trying to build before laying the foundation is common. We want to do big things before we are ready for them. Sometimes we do not pay the price of preparation, and tackle a task that is too much for us. Then we fail. The better way is to begin at the bottom and to work up. How can a person become a great mathematician unless he learns the four fundamental operations of arithmetic? Did a musician ever win success without hours of patient practice? Have men and women risen to great heights of character without first overcoming many temptations?
