Patience

No matter how hungry you are, you can only eat your food one mouthful at a time. African Proverb

Interpretation

While it is good to always have the big picture in mind, this proverb is asking us to concentrate on taking one step at a time to achieve that big picture.

Another interpretation of this proverb is to not be greedy. We need to take only what is enough for us little by little.
