milo of Kroton
Milo was born over 2000 years ago in Kroton, an ancient Greek colony in Southern Italy. He won the Olympic wrestling championship six times between 540 and 516 BCE. It is said that young Milo’s father gave him a bull calf to raise, and one day asked Milo “How big is your calf today?” Milo brought the animal into the house to show him. Milo’s father continued to ask the same question each day after that, and each day Milo picked up the growing animal and carried him into the house, until one day Milo was carrying a fully grown 1000 pound bull.
This is how one learns to play the piano. The impossible is made possible by sustained daily effort.
