Difference Between Activity and Accomplishment

There is a big difference between activity and accomplishment. This was demonstrated by a French scientist named Fable. He conducted an experiment with processionary caterpillars. Caterpillars follow the one in front of them blindly. Fable arranged them in  a circle in a flowerpot  so that the lead caterpillar actually was behind the last one forming a circle. He put pine needles (food for the caterpillars) in the center of  the flowerpot. The caterpillars kept going in a circle in the  pot. Eventually,  after a week of circling around, they dropped dead of exhaustion and starvation with food only inches away from them. We need to learn a lesson from the caterpillars. Just because you are doing something, doesn't mean you are getting anywhere. One must evaluate one's activity in order to have accomplishment.
