  In the journey of life, each chapter presents its unique challenges, obstacles, and rewards. There are moments when we find ourselves overwhelmed, questioning whether we will ever reach the finish line.

Whether it's a personal goal, a professional project, or even a cherished movie or book, the feeling of completion is something we all strive for.

He remarked, "I saw people racing out of the building to escape the smoke," and he added that some were crammed onto a rooftop to...
