In Greek Mythology, Sisyphus is a king condemned to roll a boulder up to the highest point of a hill for eternity, all because of his ambitions. Don't we also place a never-ending burden on our own shoulders—just like the punishment given to Sisyphus due to his ambitions—in order to attain our dreams and reach the peak of our careers? A lifetime spent for the sake of dreaming of something newer and better with each passing day!..At the very moment you are closest to your dreams, standing on that ladder you climbed to the top and looking back, have you ever thought about how many broken steps you left behind and what you sacrificed for the sake of these dreams? Will you ever think about it?
