One proverb I would like to introduce is the Korean proverb "티끌 모아 태산." It teaches us that small things can add up to something much bigger over time.
I learned the meaning of this proverb through my reading habit. When I was younger, I rarely read books because I thought reading a few pages would not make any difference. However, I decided to spend just ten minutes reading before going to bed each night.
At first, it felt like a very small effort. Some days I read only a few pages. After several months, however, I realized that I had finished many books. I had learned new vocabulary, gained knowledge, and become more interested in reading than ever before.
Looking back, I understand that those few minutes each day were not meaningless. The small effort I made every night eventually became a valuable habit.
Because of this experience, the proverb "티끌 모아 태산" has become meaningful to me. It reminds me that even the smallest actions can create big changes when they continue for a long time.
