Why do so many miss the biggest innovations and most revolutionary technologies sitting right in front of their eyes?

“All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows stronger.

And the task of building a good habit is like cultivating a delicate flower one day at a time.”
~ James Clear, Atomic Habits
