Response in English: The metaphor Life is a marathon compares the journey of life to that of running a marathon race. A marathon is a long-distance race that requires endurance, dedication, perseverance and significant effort in order to reach the finish line. Like a marathon, life is often viewed as a long journey that is both rewarding and challenging. In life, as in a marathon, there are ups and downs, and times when it feels like the end is not in sight. But, like a marathon runner, one must keep moving forward, pace themselves and continue to strive towards the finish line. It reminds us that life isnt a sprint, where you try to achieve everything as fast as possible, but instead a long-term journey that requires patience, resilience and stamina.Additionally, like a marathon, there are aid stations or moments of help and support in life, whether it comes from friends, family, or mentors. Its essential to take advantage of these resources to replenish your energy and help you keep going.In essence, this metaphor encourages us to view life as an endurance event, where achieving success and fulfillment is a result of determination, hard work, and resilience over the long term. .
