All things at first appear difficult

This is a really old and common Chinese saying that you will still hear pretty often nowadays. It means that when people start to do something challenging, it is hardest to start to do it. I think this would be deductive reasoning since it is talking about a common rule for all things. It is not necessarily means that things actually get easier as things go along, but rather, having the courage to start something challenging is hard to do. Once a person gets on a routine of doing this hard task everyday, it becomes not as intimidating as it seems like in the beginning.
Therefore, the difficulty here means fear for challenge.

This saying in China right now can sound a little cliché simply it has become too common. Most of the time, people hardly put thoughts into it because it sounds like something we have already known forever. However, it is still very true and effective in my opinion. When people go through hardships or facing a challenge, they tend to truly relate with this. It still has the effect of motivating people. People use it for blog titles or day-to-day speech. It especially applies to things like entrepreneurship.

This proverb in Chinese language originally directly translates to " Ten thousand things start difficultly." Chines language articulate the connotation behind language and people are not use to write things out most explicitly. Also, the language tends to use many metaphors and other forms of rhetorics. For example, it is very common in Chinese language to use Ten thousand to represent everything. Numbers with similar function are thousand, hundred, and even sometimes ten. In old Chinese articles, two or three most of time doesn't mean the exact number. Examples like this can be found everywhere and all of these combined make the traditional Chinese writings pleasant to read. The English translation here clearly delivered the message however lost the beauty of the original language.
