Let me ask you a question. If you are a regular on WhatsApp, you should be able to get this as an image which was widely circulated. You should even get this if you have read James Clear’s book Atomic Habits.

How many times do you improve with just a 1% improvement daily at the end of 1 year?
You will improve 37 times

Blown Away. Not Yet. Try the next question.

How many times do you improve with just a 1% improvement daily at the end of 2 years?
1400 Times.

I cannot believe you are still not blown over but the final one is likely to blow you over.

How many times do you improve with just a 1% improvement daily at the end of 5 years?

Try answering this one. You will not get it.

Ok. Let me reveal the answer.

It is 76 million times.

Mind blowing isn’t it? You got to agree with me on this one.

People who start with very small numbers such as Rs.5000, Rs.10000 or Rs.20000 and do it consistently do not even realize when they have accumulated a Crore. The point is Tiny Habits Matter or as James Clear writes in the book Atomic Habits “Tiny = Mighty”.

Do not underestimate the Power of a Small (or Nano) Action Done Consistently over a period. No one could have guessed the number of 76 million despite how good we might be at MATHEMATICS. The Key words are Small Actions Done Consistently.
