Little strokes great oaks

Every long march starts with a single step. Construction of huge, sky –scraping multistoried buildings starts by laying a single brick. If a big tree is to be cut and felled, the wood –cutter begins his axing task with a single firm cut. All important and long –lasting work in the affairs of men are done in a similar way – a humble beginning, small but steady and sustained human efforts, maintenance of inner virtues of vision, faith, courage and patience to support the efforts and final successful completion of the health work. I can testify this from my own long experience. I am a writer and have written more than 50 books in Malayalam and English. Every health book started with a single line in a blank page. Sticking myself to a chair for hours on end during fixed hours every day, I found the book taking final shape in a few months (some times years) time. All human advances in the world are conceived and nourished to fullness only in this way.
