“The Three Lessons of Success”The Fluent Stories

In a quiet town lived a 12-year-old boy named David who loved playing soccer but struggled with math. One day, feeling discouraged after getting a poor grade, his father decided to teach him three lessons about success. First, he asked David to play soccer with his friend Matt, where David realized that everyone has different strengths—Matt excelled in math, while he was great at soccer. Next, his father told him to observe Matt at school, and David noticed how often Matt practiced math, learning that skill grows with consistent effort. Finally, his father challenged him to study math three times harder, but David soon grew tired. His father then explained that true mastery comes when you love what you do. From that day, David learned that passion, practice, and patience are the real keys to success.
