“I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker”
– Helen Keller
I've always love this particular quote. Somehow, it manages to blend the desire to aim for greatness but with lots of humility. Not an easy task, considering humility usually goes out the window the minute greatness is achieved, or that greatness is denied for humility to be maintained.
Also, it just reminds me that sometimes we just have to shut up and get to work. Great mountains are often moved one stone at a time.
