Jika Anda ingin mencapai anak tangga tertinggi, Anda harus berani menaiki anak tangga yang pertama.

Maka, jika kalian ingin sukses dan berhasil dalam belajar, mulailah keberhasilan kalian itu dengan mengerjakan hal-hal yang kecil dahulu, seperti mengerjakan tugas, mengerjakan PR, atau menjawab pertanyaan di kelas ketika ditanya guru.

Jika kalian sudah tidak bergairah atau tidak bersemangat dalam mengerjakan hal-hal kecil yang diberikan guru, bagaimana mungkin kalian akan mampu mengerjakan hal-hal besar (seperti Ujian Akhir Semester atau Ujian Nasional) yang diberikan kepada kalian?

GOOD LUCK!
