Great Oaks From Little Acorns Grow.

Great Oaks From Little Acorns Grow. :



Acorn is the seed of the oak tree. Compared to the big oak tree, the acorn is very small. But the seed grows up into huge tree in course of time. Likewise, a small effort or venture can grow up a big enterprise. If we study the history of many of the big business firms in the world, we can see that they all had humble beginnings. Those enterprises were not started on a big scale at first. Instead, they grew up from the seed form into huge business houses. Many of the richest men in the world had a humble beginning in life. With hard and sincere efforts, they earned the position of the rich men in the world. The proverb has another meaning also. Like good things, a bad habit even spoils the life of the person concerned. So such a bad habit in its seed form should be checked before they grow up into dangerous once.
