One student decided he wanted to be a good police officer in life. He went on to attend college after finishing high school successfully.
Most of the time, he studied well. But in between, he spent a lot of time with friends. With his friends, he drank, smoked, and sometimes even went stealing.
One day, a man filed a theft case at the police station. The police quickly caught the young thieves. After catching them, they were punished, and their parents and teachers were called to the station.
The parents cried in shame. The teachers were really disappointed too. At that moment, the teacher said to them, ‘You were all students with big dreams for your lives. You were trying to stand on your own by improving yourselves through studying. But you’ve forgotten what you really want to be.’
One student suddenly remembered that he had decided to become a good police officer. He had forgotten that he once set out to become a thief, which had been a huge shame for him.
The police officer said, ‘Remember what you want to be. From today on, go after your goal. Don’t let any negative thoughts take over your mind. Face any obstacles head-on and keep moving toward your purpose.’
