Features: This is a classic fable about time, and in this fable, there are only four people in the world. Four young men in their twenties went to a bank to borrow money. The bank agreed to lend them a huge sum of money each, on the condition that they must repay the principal and interest within 50 years. The first young man wanted to play for the first 25 years and work hard in the last 25 years to repay the debt. As a result, he achieved nothing by the time he was 70 and died heavily in debt. His name was "Laziness." The second young man worked hard for the first 25 years and paid off all his debts by the time he was 50, but on that day, he collapsed from exhaustion and died soon after. A small plaque next to his photograph bore his name: "Fervor." The third young man paid off his debt when he was 70, and a few days later, he died. His death notice bore his name: "Persistence." The fourth young man worked for 40 years and paid off all his debts by the age of 60. In the last decade of his life, he became a traveler and visited most countries on Earth. When he died at the age of 70, he had a smile on his face. People still remember his name as "Composure." The bank that lent them money was called "Bank of Life." Which one of you is in this fable?
