Many students in Vietnam dream of big goals, like getting a high IELTS score. However, a huge goal can seem so difficult that they don't know where to begin. This feeling often leads to procrastination, where they delay starting because the task feels too big. As a result, many talented students don't reach their full potential because the first step seems impossible.

The solution is surprisingly simple: micro-habits. A micro-habit is a small action you can do every day in just a few minutes. For instance, instead of trying to study English for two hours, you could learn just three new vocabulary words. When facing a big goal, many feel overwhelmed. Breaking it down into a tiny daily task makes the journey manageable and less intimidating.

But why is this approach so effective? The power of micro-habits comes from consistency. When a habit is easy, you are more likely to do it consistently, day after day. This daily repetition builds momentum and creates a sense of achievement. Each small success gives you confidence to continue. Over time, these tiny actions compound to produce remarkable results, like small drops of water filling a bucket.

So, if you have a big dream, don't let its size scare you. Identify the smallest possible step toward your goal and commit to doing it daily. This strategy of starting small is a reliable path to achieving the big things you want in life. Remember that patience and consistency are your greatest allies.
