Why do we forget the importance of success after getting it? Success, for which we worked very hard and we dreamt a lot that one day we are going to get success in this particular thing. But after a certain period of time, the importance of success which we were having before success doesn’t remain the same after getting success. We don’t give any importance to the successful life which we’ve achieved. After getting success in one area we set a goal for another success & don’t respect the current success.

Maybe the player sets another goal for his life. It could be to earn money.
A student works very hard to become a top officer in bureaucracy. He dreams day and night and works very hard. Therefore, he became successful & became the top officer in bureaucracy. But after a certain period of time he gets caught in corruption charges. Why does this happen to us? We dream for something, for a successful life & work very hard but after a certain period of time we start misusing the powers which we never dreamed of when we were working hard & preparing for exams to get a dream job.
