To write an inspiring essay article /blog post about the life
lessons that you can relate to the lessons about the three
Laws of Motion formulated by Isaac Newton.
Example:
The first law of motion states that, “A body at rest will
remain at rest and a body in motion will continue moving
at a constant velocity unless there is an external
unbalanced force acting on it”. This law reminds us that
our dreams and ambitions won’t ever be achieved unless
we take action in our daily life. Unless we push ourselves
forward we aren’t going to achieve anything in our lives.
So, if we want to change anything, we must take action.
Note: Please do not use the same words from my example
in your article.
