Meaning
This reads as a warning against overlooking small chances while waiting for a grand one. It suggests that what looks minor or ordinary may carry the opening you wanted all along, if you pay attention. It lands when a person dismisses modest work, small introductions, or everyday tasks, only to later see that progress was hidden there.
