If you dream of something worth doing And then simply go to work on it. And don't think anything of personalities or emotional conflicts. Or of money. Or of family distractions.

If you just think of detail by detail what you have to do next. It is a wonderful dream, even though the end is a long way off. for there are about five thousand steps to be taken before we realize it. Start taking the first ten. And stay making twenty after it.

It is amazing how quickly you get through those first five thousand steps. Rather I should say Through the four thousand nine hundred and ninety. The last ten steps you never seem to work out. But you keep on coming nearer to giving the world something well worth having.
