I sighed but followed the group. “Since the parents are gone, let’s found something special!” the guide said. We saw a painting of people in a cafe and the guide asked why was wrong with them. I found out that table legs was all missing. The guide praised me and then said, “Our brains play tricks us, making us ignore small changes, and the painter just made a good use of it.” From then on, I started to love museums.

Dreams come true through actions, and the best action is to set and achieve goals. Realizing your goals is important. As you realize your goals, you will find relief from many problems that seem to trouble you. 1. With the following of plans and actions come achievements, success, and accomplishments.
