as life goes on

Ever heard of slippery slope? I learned about it in my Speech Communication class last spring semester. It is a reasoning when you relate an event  with another subsequent event that seems to have a relationship with the former. A great example of such situation is a poem which I, and certainly most of us, learned when I was in primary school
   Siakap Senohong
      Gelama Ikan Duri;
   Bercakap bohong
      Lama-lama mencuri.
Though slippery slope is said to be unreliable since usually people do not provide any strong proof regarding such situation, I do think that it can be used in many ways. One of them is to remind ourselves about thing we should and should not do. In order to avoid big mistakes, keep yourself away from small mistakes. I've heard a talk from a well-known ustaz about adultery. If syaitan come to us and straight away ask us to commit adultery, we will most probably say that it is sinful. But then, of course it is not the way we all fall into big mistakes. We all start with small sins such as going out, dating, walking home together and etc.
In psychology, there is a method called 'Foot in the Door'. According to psychologists, to accomplish a big and seemingly impossible mission, start with a small one. To borrow a car from a neighbor, start with asking to use his bicycle. To cheat someone's money, start with borrowing a small amount. Give a good impression and you can move on to the next stage. The same method applied to our life. If we normalize all the small sins, then, we are bound to do the bigger one later in our life. Thus, the right solution for all of us is

"DO NOT COMPROMISE"

I know that things are easier said than done, but remember, there are always reward for those who are patient.
