千里之行，始于足下

　　Step by Step, One Goes a Long Way

　　In the picture, we can see two prancing horses, beneath which goes this line of words that my journey of thousand li is started from the first step. Inspired by it, I want to say step by step we go a long way.

　　However capable and potential you are, a golrious course has to have a starting point, which is more often than not humble. Maybe you want to be a banker who can command billions and billlions of money but it is wise for you to water your dream with sweat and start as a nobody. It is also probable that you will be a well-known scholar, but do not forget that even the tool for your distinguished studies, the language, has been learned by you from even ABC. It is hard for me to deny your talents in politices, but do you forget your humble beginning as a minor secretary? But nowadays, many people seem to have forgotten this lesson which is connotated in the picture. They dream beautifully and dream high and they despisingly abandon the distance of one step as if I had nothing to do with their great expectation.

　　Till now, I find it hard to conclude my ideas without pointing out the fact that this picture is an alarm to those who are aiming to cover a long, long glorious journey of their life.
