... if you improve 1/2% each day, then you will be 267% better over one year? Who can compete with that?

Think of it like a ocean wave, moving far out in the Pacific with almost an undetectable push...finally with the power and grace of an ocean wave onto the beach. Create your own metaphor to embrace small habits with a huge future impact.
