Animal Farm — Chapter 3 (George Orwell)
With Manor Farm now transformed into Animal Farm, the animals waste no time in putting their new society into practice. They begin working enthusiastically in the fields, more motivated than ever under Mr. Jones. The pigs, thanks to their superior intelligence, take on leadership and planning roles, while the other animals throw themselves into physical labor. Boxer, a huge cart horse, becomes the farm's workhorse in both name and spirit. His personal motto - "I will work harder" - inspires everyone around him. Even the ducks and chickens do their best, picking up stray kernels of corn to ensure that nothing goes to waste. Although harvesting is difficult without human tools and skills, they manage better than expected, with greater success than ever before. There is a sense of pride and ownership in every mouthful of food they produce, which drives them to work harder and cooperate more willingly. The animals, for the first time, feel that their labor is truly for their own benefit, not for some master who steals the fruits of their labor.

The sun was bright, streaming through my window, and I should have felt alive, confident, whole. But instead, all I saw was a dull face with tired eyes—a reflection that didn’t match the events inside.

As a parent and pet lover, I'm always torn between two truths: Animals are wonderful companions, and yet, they can inadvertently pose a health risk to young children. Like most families, when we brought our adorable kitten, Simba, and later a playful puppy named Leo, into our home, it brought a new kind of joy. The kids were thrilled. They ran, laughed, and cuddled with the pets from morning to night.

This small daily habit changed my entire outlook on life.
It’s amazing how something so small, so insignificant, can change the entire trajectory of your life. I used to scoff at people who claim that “habits make or break you.” I thought it was all motivational fluff. That is, until I tried a small, almost laughably simple daily habit that reshaped the way I thought, acted, and felt.
