Early wins

The early victories on our way to the top are always more satisfying than the later victories that keep us there.

Continued success is not nearly as exciting as the first few wins.

Two thoughts.

One, manage your expectations — particularly if you’ve been on a long winning streak in a certain domain (which has the potential to become boring).

Two, try new things. New fields of study, new activities, new ventures. Soak up the joy of those early, hard-earned wins.
