bullet

Ronnie set out a hike in the forest to hunt for birds. He was fully geared. He took his rifle together with a Swiss knife and placed them on his back and side respectively. He also put some spare gun shells inside his bag in case he would be needing them later.

As he was in the forest, he saw this big bird on a far angle moving on a branch of a tree. He positioned himself in a site where he couldn't be noticed by this bird. After a minute, he took a look at the bird with the rifle scope. 5...4...3...2...1......"Bssshhhhhhhhhh..."

Sometimes, it feels like it is difficult to achieve our goals in life. No matter how we try and try, again and again, aiming for that bird on a tree, still we miss and it flies as soon as we have put another bullet to our rifles. Even when we are ready and fully equipped with gears needed to get our dreams, still, there are slips on our target. But by being persevering, after some miss shoots, we replace the bullet, and try  again until we get that bird whether bull's eye or not. At the end of the hunt, it is not how many bullets are wasted to shoot the bird but it is about taking home the bird and telling ourselves, "I got it!"
