A Journey of 1000 Miles Begins with a Single Step
千里之行始於足下 is a Chinese proverb that means “a thousand-mile journey begins with the first step.”
This proverb figuratively means “big accomplishments come from an accumulation of little achievements made one by one.”
A Journey of 1000 Miles Begins with a Single Step
senri no michi mo ippo kara
千里の道も一歩から is the Japanese version of an ancient Chinese proverb that means “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
Some will also translate this as a 1000-mile road starts with one brick (a small amount).
In this case, the real measurement is an ancient Chinese “li” or 里, which is romanized as “ri” in Japanese. It's about half a kilometer, so three 里 would be a western mile. A journey of 333 miles begins with a single step, just doesn't sound as natural.
Note: Because this selection contains some special Japanese Hiragana characters, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
Even The 100-Foot Bamboo Can Grow One More Foot
百尺竿头更进一步 is a proverb that literally translates as: [Even a] one-hundred foot [tall] bamboo [can] progress even one [more] step.
Figuratively, this means: After having achieved a fair degree of success, one should try to do still better.
