Young Tom had a small acorn seed. He wanted a great, strong oak tree. He knew the tree would give shade for many years. Tom felt his dream was big, but he did not know about work. He put the seed on a shelf and just waited. "Grow fast!" he would say.
Days passed. The seed stayed dry. Nothing happened. Tom was sad. He told his wise neighbor, Mrs. Elena. "My seed does not like me. It is not growing."
Mrs. Elena explained with a gentle voice. "Tom, a big dream is just the beginning. The seed needs your responsibility. It needs the earth, the sun, and water. It needs your daily care."
Tom understood. He went to his garden. He dug a small hole with his hands. He placed the seed inside and covered it with good soil. He felt the duty to care for his dream.
From that day, Tom created a routine. He checked the soil every morning. He brought water every afternoon, even when it was cold. His hands got dirty, but his heart felt good. He had to be patient. He had to be consistent.
After a long time, he saw a tiny green shoot. It was very small, but it was real progress. Tom felt great joy. He learned that great success is not magic. It is the result of small, hard work done every day. Discipline makes the dream grow.
