One day, a powerful buffalo was walking proudly along a forest path.
It was strong, confident, and feared by many of the animals around it.
As it walked, a small Komodo dragon suddenly emerged from the bushes.
The buffalo looked at it and laughed.
It did not see the creature as a threat.
“What can something this small possibly do to me?” the buffalo seemed to think.
But before the buffalo could move away, the Komodo dragon rushed toward it and bit its leg.
The buffalo kicked the Komodo dragon away and continued walking.
It looked at the bite.
It was only a small wound.
“Just a scratch,” the buffalo thought.
It paid no attention to it.
But what the buffalo did not know was that the bite had introduced poison into its body.
The wound looked small on the outside, but something dangerous was already spreading inside.
The buffalo continued walking proudly.
It ate.
It played.
It moved around the forest as though nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, the Komodo dragon followed from a distance.
It did not chase the buffalo.
It did not need to.
It simply waited.
Day after day, the poison continued spreading through the buffalo's body.
The buffalo became weaker without understanding why.
Eventually, it could no longer walk.
Its legs became weak.
It collapsed to the ground.
And before long, the powerful buffalo died.
The tiny creature it had considered insignificant had caused its downfall—not because it was stronger, but because of what it had secretly introduced into its body.

A person may repeatedly tell you that you are not good enough, that your dreams are impossible, that nobody believes in you, or that you will never succeed. I
