Read:
A young koala worked as an independent photographer. He liked what he did a lot, but as he earned little, he could barely support his family. That's why I even thought about changing my profession.
He looked for a job at an accounting firm and worked very hard. After a few years, I had already managed to gather some savings.
— With that money, I can already set up a small photography studio that will give me enough to live on! he thought, glad for the effort he had made.
The koala returned to his vocation, and this time he had no financial difficulties, as his studio was working better than he had imagined.
Whoever knows how to sacrifice himself for an ideal, ends up seeing it fulfilled.
