Success is the result of small steps at at time and it's these steps that eventually become one giant leap for the future.
The men and women that worked for NASA during the moon missions said, their work was tedious, breathtaking and exhausting at the same time but when Armstrong landed on the moon, only then they have realized that the pieces they were putting together become one giant leap for humankind. It's a giant leap that lead to ideas like the internet, further space exploration and the study of the universe.
The pieces that you are putting together everyday will enable you one day to be in a better position to solve problems and create/design a better tomorrow.
