A large beautiful rice field made of many rice terraces
Large projects such as this rice field project are best made with friends and neighbors
Year after year a small group adds another rice terrace - another small project. The more that project grows, the greater your motivation to progress even further until you see all available resources and space successfully converted into something truly beautiful and fertile.
A single person may need almost a full lifetime for such a beautiful rice terrace group as shown in this picture, but with a few friends, family members or neighbors or an entire village, even such large projects can be accomplished in a matter of a few years. Hence within reasonable time.
The very same applies in all life projects. Make small dreams that can be realized out of your own available financial and physical means and resources rather than making soap-bubble dreams that collapse as a result of economical crisis, mortgage crisis or corrupt bank systems.
Start small and progress steadily and always stay within the limits you can easily control and manage all on your own.
