Hello Steemit Community!
The quote is: "The secret of getting ahead is getting started."
It is attributed to one of America's great literary minds, Mark Twain!
Many people are not aware about this place, but Mark Twain's real name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Twain was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He's most famous for his literary works of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." He is revered in America as one of its great humorists and literary minds.
The quote, "The secret of getting ahead is getting started," is a great quote about being prepared for something. A lot of people have ambitious ideas and lofty goals for their ideas, but when it comes to actually working on it, they are ill prepared or aren't even ready to begin. Twain's quote is offering advice to people that want to succeed, they need to motivate themselves to doing the task. This requires you to prepare yourself with a base of ideas. By never getting started, you will never get ahead or succeed. This quote can be applied to anything such as writing a Steem post or starting a business.
I will admit, sometimes I have many ideas of things I want to do, but when it comes to doing it, I am not even ready or I simply don't do anything. So I take to heart of Twain's quote that I need to start doing it before I even get ahead and succeed.
