Step


The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success. If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward. When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way. People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song. Nobody has the power to take two steps together; you can take only one step at a time."
