i think it is small task also must be done just like big task.she is trying to say dont take it easy the difficult task

This quote is about things and small things. Every person has his or her own desire to accomplish big things in life. But it is our great responsibility to succeed in small things and treat it like these are great and noble.

I think here by the words, the author what to express a feeling that she know because of her limitations, she'd never accomplish great tasks, yet she would feel the same content when she's finished the small ones... my understanding is that the author want to say: no matter the tasks are great and noble or smal, one can be proud of himself if he's doing his best...do whatever you can to accomplish it, overcome difficulties, challenging yourself... hope it helps...

You know Helen Keller was not able to hear or I believe, see. It is in the same type meaning as monks who do menial work as part of their dedication to the Buddhists religion. There is spiritual significance in even a small task.

Helen Keller lived almost a hundred years ago; she got sick when she was a child and as a result she could not hear, talk or see. That did not stop her and she went on to become a champion for disabled people in America. She longs to accomplish great tasks like seeing and hearing but she can't so the little things are big for her or for any disabled person. "In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king." That would be a great accomplishment for her!
