"Sic-Parvis-Magna"
Ever since I came across this phrase,
it became the north of my compass in life. It shows me my direction & destiny.
It's a Latin quote;
Sic Parvis Magna which translates to: "Greatness from Small Beginnings".
It has been really a vital part of both my personal and professional growth. The motto originates back to 1587 by legendary explorer Sir Francis Drake's words:
"There must be a beginning to any great matter, but the continuing unto the end until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory".
It is no coincidence that the well-known navigator, even made a knight by Queen Elizabeth I, was born in a family of humble origins, yet with his audacity and willpower he has conquered a prominent position very difficult to reach in the epoch.
The biggest thing that I have learnt from this is that despite how good the end goal and rewards are, it is the journey which makes it far more interesting and exciting. If something is easily achievable, then being able to complete or attain it would not be of the essence as much compared to something with a resilient journey.
If you really want something, and you commit yourself to get it by giving all of your faith, the world can only indulge you and accompany you towards success, like a gentle wind that blows a ship to a rich and safe harbor.
The watchword is always the same:
DISCIPLINE.
