Proverb 17: One day, one step

Here is today's proverb:

一日一歩

And in romaji:

ichi-nichi ip-po

And English: "One day, one step."

This is one of my favorite Japanese sayings! We say in English "one step at a time," which is good advice, but "One day, one step" is even better advice I think — and yes, I'm trying to blog every day here. One day, one post.

Note the euphonic change, called rendaku in Japanese, that takes place in the compound: ほ (ho) becomes ぽ (po).
