Big things start small (not that intellectual after all haha!)

No matter what argument one contends with the one above, No matter the human experience and expectation one might put forth in justifying otherwise, it is a well-known yet unproved assertion that Big things do start small. Now let me just share a few lines of thought regarding this matter incited by a close friend of mine.

Take for instance a big-time fraud syndicate leader. It is believed that such persons developed their habit not in one big blow but in comparatively small and gradual increments over time.

A liar being able to evade the techniques employed by a lie detector sure didn’t learn that on one sitting. The person should’ve gone intensive training in that practice or may have had real life experiences leading him into a position worthy of being called “Master-Liar”.

Another example is a friendship. One would not pour out all his trust and care to an acquaintance in their first meeting. This would be done over time, little by little knowing the friend a bit better. One would be imprudent to suddenly jump into a conclusion that a being is trustworthy or an entity is a good place to invest money in without considering the ins and outs of such a relationship.

All these have to be built little by little until such a point that one has built enough confidence to finally expend hard earned trust into fruits of friendship or fruits of investment.

Man didn’t have giant skyscrapers and towers before. All he had were primitive scout towers giving him a limited range of sight. Gargantuan hard drives that now populate our desktops didn’t come in those sizes back then! They actually had drives with capacities of 512 MB or less! (I owned a 512 MB HDD before myself!)

No wonder that Big things actually come from small things, things we often take for granted and shrug off our shoulders.
