There's a lizard on the floor of my balcony last Saturday night.

Its body was quite special (it's a beautiful lizard if I must say) as there're spots on its body. (Well so far I have only seen lizards with plain brown or dark brown colour body, but none with spots...)

It kept crawling here and there, slowly at one time and suddenly rushing towards something (its target or whatever), and then crawling slowly again.

I stopped my work at my desk and began to observe that lizard. What in my mind that time was that it was helping me eating those irritating mosquitoes.

When there's no target it crawled back swiftly to behind of the door of the balcony (to hide? I think)... and after a while it crawled out again, waiting for its prey.

This kept going on continuously for some time till I decided to ignore it and get back to my work.

I thought, if we had that determination to work hard like that lizard did, we would be able to achieve success easily. Another thing is confidence. That lizard's head was quite high up with its eyes looking around and it gave me an impression of being confident. (don't ask my why, it's probably because my imagination is great =P)
