Question

    A scientist made an experiment. She divided people into three groups and asked them to walk to a village.

The first group didn’t know the name of the village or how far the village is. They are made to follow the guide. Some people started to say they were unhappy to continue and show their dissatisfaction when they walked halfway. After then, most of them gave up walking on.

The second group were told the name and the distance of the village. When they walked halfway, they still had the courage to keep on. However, while they were walking to three quarters of the way, some people were tired and bored.

Not only had the third group gotten to know the name and the distance, but also there were some stones which showed how far they were from the village. They sang and talked along the way and finally got to the destination happily.

From the experiment, we found that the first group had the hardest time in reaching the destination because they didn’t know where the village was. However, the third group reached the village easily because they had goals on the way. People are more likely to succeed when they have their goals on the way of achieving their dreams.
