Once upon a time, in a corner of a bustling city, lived an ant and a grasshopper. The ant worked hard every day, from early morning till late at night, sweating and paying taxes. He tackled the work in front of him and diligently saved for the future.
On the other hand, the grasshopper had been passionate about music since his youth and pursued his dream. With the money he earned from part-time jobs, he bought a guitar and continued to captivate people with his performances on the streets of Shinjuku. For him, music was not just a hobby, but a purpose in life and a means of expressing himself.
The ant could not understand the grasshopper’s way of life, always advising, “If you don’t work seriously, you’ll face difficulties in the future.” However, the grasshopper continued on his chosen path, replying, “Life is once, living doing what you love is the best.”
As time passed, the ant achieved a stable life but felt a lack of satisfaction somewhere in his heart. Meanwhile, the grasshopper, despite many failures, finally achieved success with his music and became an artist loved by many.
Seeing the grasshopper’s success, the ant reflected on his own way of life for the first time. He remembered the words, “If you face any job seriously, confidence is born. That confidence will push you further.” With that, he resolved to find what he truly wanted to do.
And so, the ant found his true passion and took a new step forward. Like the grasshopper, he had the courage to pursue his dreams and finally achieved his own success.
This story conveys to everyone that “there is no such thing as an insignificant job.” Any job, when approached seriously, can foster personal growth and pave the way to success. In a century-long life, anyone can start over at any time. As long as you don’t lose your passion. You too!! It was Tomo Sun.
