Written by The clock struck midnight. The young woman sighed and put down her pen. She had been working on her essay for hours, but she was no closer to finishing it. She was tired, frustrated, and starting to feel hopeless.
She got up and walked over to the window. She looked out at the city below, all lit up and alive. It seemed like everyone else was having fun, while she was stuck here, struggling with her essay.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She needed to get her mind off of things for a few minutes. She thought about her favorite childhood memory, the time she went to the beach with her family. She remembered how happy she was, running and playing in the sand.
When she opened her eyes, she felt a little bit better. She knew that she had to finish her essay, but she also knew that she couldn’t do it if she was feeling stressed and overwhelmed. She decided to take a break and come back to it later.
She went to bed and had a good night’s sleep. The next morning, she woke up feeling refreshed and motivated. She sat down at her desk and started working on her essay again. This time, she was able to focus and make good progress.
A few hours later, she finished her essay. She was proud of herself for sticking with it and not giving up. She knew that she would never have finished it if she hadn’t taken a break and cleared her head.
The moral of the story is that time is precious. We should use it wisely and not waste it on things that don’t matter. When we face challenges, we should take a break and come back to them later when we are feeling refreshed and motivated. We can do anything we set our minds to, as long as we don’t give up.
I hope this story motivates you to use your time wisely and never give up on your dreams.
