A phrase evoking the beginning of something momentous, from Neil Armstrong's words upon becoming the first human to walk on the moon in 1969: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Used to frame modest actions as part of larger significance: Finishing my first chapter—one small step toward actually writing this book.
