“Once upon a time, in a quaint village nestled amidst rolling hills, there lived an old man named Elias. Elias was known for his wisdom and kindness. His wrinkled face bore the lines of countless stories, and his eyes sparkled with the light of experience. Elias had a peculiar habit: every morning, he would walk to the edge of the village and sit under a gnarled oak tree. There, he would observe the world around him—the bustling marketplace, the children playing, and the villagers going about their daily lives. One chilly morning, as Elias sat beneath the oak, he noticed a young boy named Lucas. Lucas was always in a hurry, rushing from one task to another. His eyes rarely left the ground, and he seldom smiled. Elias wondered why Lucas seemed so burdened. One day, Elias decided to strike up a conversation. “Why do you rush through life, my young friend?” he asked. “What are you searching for?” Lucas paused, surprised that the old man had noticed him. “I want success,” he replied. “I want to achieve great things—to be rich, famous, and respected.”
