"There was a beautiful garden near a professor's house. Every single day, many children would come by to play in the beautiful garden. The professor, being a professor, can't chase the children away (nor scream and shout at them) regardless of how much noise they are making, so she decided to conduct an experiment.
For the first few days, she gave every child that came by $1 each. As the days pass, she reduced the amount to $0.80, then to $0.60, then to $0.40 and when the amount eventually dropped to $0.00, the children stopped coming.
Why?
Because the children had forgotten the actual reason that they came to the gardens. - to PLAY."
This holds true to people from all walks of life. In our pursuit in our dreams, we get distracted along the way, and sometimes forget what we had worked hard for, why we are doing what we are doing, etc...
Lesson of the Day? - don't let yourselves be distracted. remind yourselves from time to time the reasons and motivations you had when you made your choices/decisions.. and work for it.
All the best! 加油! 화이팅! 頑張って! \(=^-^=)/
