Pyramid of Perseverance

Seated at my desk, facing a pile of cards,

my mind churned with turmoil:

How should I begin?

Could I possibly stack these cards into a pyramid?

Take it slowly! Believe in yourself!’

‘Strategy matters—think clearly before you act!’

‘Hard work pays off!’

I took a deep breath,

gently placed the first card,

then another, and another.

Gradually, the pyramid of perseverance took shape.

With each successfully placed card, my heart grew steadier,

every ounce of effort transforming into this moment's pride!
