One day a farmer's acquaintance came to visit his house, but the farmer was not present at home at that time.
Farmer's wife was there. She greeted the guest and told him, "He has gone to the fields. I will send someone to call for him. Till then you can wait."
Within no time, the farmer reached home from the fields, and along came his pet dog.
The dog was gasping heavily and seeing this, the farmer's guest asked him, "Is your field far away?"
The farmer replied, "No. it is near. But why are you asking this?"
The Guest said, "I am surprised to see that you and your dog both came back together, yet you don't look tired at all while your dog is gasping profusely."
The farmer smiled and replied, "My dog and I have come home from the same path and yet my dog is tired, and I am not. The reason for this is that I have come home from a straight path, but my dog is compelled by its habit. Seeing other dogs around, he ran after them to drive them away and came back to me barking, and then as soon as he saw another dog, he started running after them again. And because of this habit, this sequence continued throughout the way. That's why he's tired."
Flash: Success starts with the desire to achieve something. If your motivation is weak, your results will follow suit. Think about what you desire the most in career and work towards getting it. Don't allow the environment or negative people to influence your goal that you truly want to achieve.
Moral: Surround yourself with positive people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, support your ambitions, and bring out the best in you.
