I BELIEVE SHE IS TRYING TO SAY THAT AS HUMANS THE MOST SMALLEST ACHEIVEMENTS THROUGH LIFE BECOME THE BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE.

that she cannot accomplish a big task unless she accomplishes small task first. the more small task she does the closer she becomes great or noble. the small tasks add up in the end

i think this quote means that even if you have small tasks you must go through them as if they were big ones. it can also mean that we shouldn't over look little things in our life because they can turn out to be big things later on. i keep small reminders in my life because in the end they mean a lot to me.

She's funny haha. Really though it's because she's a woman is why she has to think this way. If you are unable to accomplish large tasks, then think of every task as a huge one.

Everything I do, I do for a reason. No problem is to small no task to great. I love a challenge but just because it is a big challenge to much doesn't mean it will be a big challenge to every one else.

Helen Keller wanted to do something important, but by accomplishing every day tasks with her disabilities she was doing important things. Sometimes it's better just to do things that are difficult for you whether you think they're great or not, because it's how you measure your personal achievements, not how people view you in light of them. If you do your best, and you know you did your best, then everything you do holds significance.
