Stepping Stone
List Members,
I was wondering about the expression "stepping stone". For example: This new job will just be a stepping stone for something better. Any ideas ? Silopanna/Dean

Thank you for your answer.
I think that peldaño is the best for me because I already know that word, although for me it meant lost link. But I can see how it could refer to a stepping stone. Dean
