Progression

In this day and age it's really hard to be progressive. But in any day and age it's always a good thing. When you think of progress it's easy to think of something worthy of a toast. Or you'd think that all that could be done has been done and then the bubble pops. Perhaps progression is about paying attention to what matters and doing something that people care about. You seize opportunities and build upon them; doesn't matter if they're large or puny. You start improving yourself and the world around you; word by word, line by line, deed by deed, and you don't have to make a big thing out of it. By inches though we dally on, we progress. The world fills quickly, but there's always room.Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?- David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas
