"Commencer c'est déjà la moitié du travail, il reste encore la moitié."
— Horace
Simplified Meaning:
Starting something is often the hardest part, but once you get going, you're already halfway done. Think about how hard it can be to start cleaning a messy room. The mess looks huge, and you don’t know where to begin. But if you just start by picking up the first piece of trash, suddenly, it doesn’t seem so bad. As you keep moving, the progress you’ve made motivates you to continue, and before you know it, you’re almost finished. This shows that taking the first step is a big part of overcoming any challenge. Just beginning can give you the momentum and confidence needed to keep going, and soon the task doesn’t seem as overwhelming. In life, whenever you face a big job or project, remember that getting started is a major achievement in itself. After that, it's like downhill biking—the first push to get moving is the hardest, but once you're rolling, it's much easier to keep going.
