"Starting from the accumulated soil" and "starting from the basic soil" are both manifestations of paying attention to practical efforts and accumulation. These two statements come from different documents and emphasize the importance of success through subtle accumulation and continuous efforts. Whether from the metaphor in Tao Te Ching or from the analogy in Xunzi's admonition, we can see that accumulation and practical efforts are very important factors for personal growth and career development.
