Although this is an English proverb translated into Mandarin, (sorry). I wanted to publish this one as I think it is a great use of proverbs. I like to use this phrase when thinking in terms of my goals, ambitions and dreams. They might be big dreams and ambitions, but it is the small tiny steps that I take now that put them into motion.
I think it is worth remembering, the biggest things start with the smallest steps. Put them into motion now.

Ha ha... Those acorns were so seedy!
They reminded me of S&M?! Ha ha...
We do have something similar in Chinese.
It's 合抱之木，生于毫末 (lit. together embrace tree, born from tiny sprout), which means "it takes a lot of men to fully encircle a giant tree that grew from a tiny seed.
thats a treefic pun. ;)
acorns, seedy.
