Everyone experiences pain, failure, disappointment; happiness, falling in love, getting inspired, etc. But not everyone can see his/her dream coming true consistently.
Not everyone is gifted to keep moving, focused. Most of us give up.

Everyday, we do our activities. Once one of our loved ones dies~ normally, we stop doing what we do just to visit him/her. That is normal.
If we are on a running race and we fall hard, we're injured--let's say a big bruise plus joint pain and sprain-- would we keep going to finish the race or stop and feel the pain?
Here are links of people who showed "heart" to keep going to finish a race.
We just have to keep going to finish a race. Just like a horse, to be able to keep going, we put on bridle and blinkers on them.
Successful people look at their mission and vision. Poor-minded people look at what they feel at the moment.
In our school, we are having praise and worship every Friday. Before that, we group our students for Bible study. For this school year, I am assigned to teach the group of Grades 7 and 8.
I shared them that on earth, there are three types of people(I don't know if there are books or online content about this 3 types of people because I just invented it~ as far as I know.)
The Three Types of People:
1. Forgotten
2. Ordinary
3. Excelling
Many people are forgotten.
Ordinary- majority of the people belong to this classification. People who are classified under this category do what most people usually do.
If most people are into Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc, they are also into these kinds of stuffs. If most students take up Nursing, they would also take up Nursing. If they hear being call center agent receive better pay, they'd resign on their job to go to that job. Etcetera. Etcetera. Etcetera.
Many people are ordinary.
Excelling- There are very few people who are very rich. These very rich people are those who are businessmen, inventors, innovators, corporate people, sportsmen, risk takers. These people take the harder road, the less traveled by. Usually, on this road: pain, disappointments, trials, challenges, 'blood', tears, heartaches could found. Poor-minded see those as problems. Successful people see those as stepping stones, spices and motivating factor.
Here are some of the world's renowned people whose lives have made difference and big impact to the people of the world:
1. Paul The Apostle
2. Alexander Graham Bell
3. Gautama Buddha
4. Marie Curie
5. Charles Darwin,
6. Walt Disney
7. Albert Einstein
8. Thomas Alva Edison
9. Henry Ford
10. Bill Gates
11. Adolf Hitler
12. Steve Jobs
13. Gengis Khan
14. Martin Luther
15. Karl Marx
16. Ferdinand Magellan
17. Michaeangelo
18. Isaac Newton
19. Pythagoras
20. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
21. Joseph Stalin
22. Lao Tsu
23. Sun Tzu
24. Mother Theresa
25. Queen Victoria
26. George Washington
27. Zoroaster
And there are more I didn't mention.
Jesus Christ who's our God stepped down here on earth for the salvation of mankind. Because of His life, the people are enlightened. He did many great things.
There are many things to be done. There are many problems to be solved here on earth. But nobody has ever succeeded without FOCUS.
