Step By Step, And You'll Grow So Big

Remember, do not think about tasks whole—your brain will choke.

"You mad?!", said the brain.
"Release depression and failure hormones!!!", the brain as well.

Divide a single task into sub-tasks.

فرق، تسود

Farriq, tasood.
Divide them, and you'll conquer them.

"Ohh....that's more like it!", says the brain.
"Ok ok ok, kill the depression switch, this human is back into his mind, being reasonable and all", the brain as well.

Humans love jumping to conclusions, it's easier, requires less effort, less scary.

1+1=11

Why do maths if you can stick them together?

That's what happens when you don't think through decisions and conclusions.

One decision like that after another, they snowball, and now you think you're a failure who's behind everyone and can't seem to be motivated to do anything. It always ends up locked...

Slow down, step by step, and you'll get there.

In Algeria, we tell toddlers who try to walk:

"داداش، تكبر قداش"

"Dāddāsh, tekber qaddāsh"
It's baby talk, not really Arabic.
Meaning, step by step, and you'll grow so big.

Imagine that toddler thinking about racing in the Olympics or whatever.

I can imagine the life draining out of their eyes. Such a huge gap.

But even the fastest runner was a toddler once.
