Attributed to Confucius, this sentence removes speed from the definition of progress and leaves only continuity. It is a deliberately low bar, and that is its function.

The reasoning is sound. Ambitious paces are abandoned far more often than modest ones, and a stopped effort produces nothing regardless of how fast it once moved. Choosing a rate you can sustain indefinitely usually beats choosing the fastest rate you can manage briefly — consistency compounds, intensity rarely does.
