“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can” – Arthur Ashe. 1. What do you think these words mean (translate them in a simpler way)?

2. How can these words help you or someone you know?

In my opinion, the words are reflecting where someone is in life. Maybe you have goals or dreams but you might not have all the tools, experience, education or materials to achieve them yet. Instead of giving up altogether, these words are saying “all progress is positive.” You have to “use what you have” to achieve smaller goals that may help you achieve your End Goal. So if your end goal is to own your own business. First, you might want to focus education, even if it might not be the best, so you can receive higher education on how business works. Maybe you need money to get the business going, learn about loans, fundraising, marketing etc.
