Sometimes we vastly overestimate what we should achieve in a week
and vastly underestimate what we could achieve in a lifetime
One day, two children were out walking in the hills when they noticed a man in the distance, carrying a bucket of stones down from a mountain top.
The first child said "Who is that?"
And the other replied "Don’t you know? He's the man who moves the pebbles"

Years later, the same two children - now fully grown adults- were out walking in the hills once more. And, in the distance, they noticed a man again (now severely aged).
He was still carrying a bucket of stones - only, now, there was nothing but blue skies and open land behind him
Here - just as before = the first adult asked "Who is that?"
And this time, his friend replied "Don’t you know?
He's the man who moved the mountain!"
