        A group of boys were playing a game around a tall tree. They decided to see who could get to the top of the tree first Their mothers were sitting not far away, watching their children as they played.

        One of the climbers was an 8-year-old boy named David. He was the shortest child in the group. Nobody thought he would win the competition.

        Then the game started. All of the boys tried their best to climb as high as they could. They all made it halfway up the tree before David did, but he reached the top of the tree fastest in the end.

        David's mother was proud of his son. She asked him, "David, how did you manage to reach the top of the tree so "It was easy" David said, "The other children kept looking down as they climbed. When they came to realize how high they were, they got scared and were afraid of falling down. I; however, looked only up. When I saw how close I was I kept going higher and higher until I reached the top"

        In fact, in life, it is true that if we just keep going forward without looking back, we are more likely to reach our goals.
