11 🌿 Did you know ‘resting on one’s laurels’ comes from ancient Greece? 

Victorious athletes received laurel wreaths, symbolizing their triumph. 

This comes from mythology ever  since Apollo, the sun God declared the laurel as a holy plant after his love Daphne was turned in to one.

The Romans continued this tradition and used to present laurel wreaths to successful military commanders. This tradition is still used today as  marathon race winners are honoured with laurel wreaths.

But relying on past glories isn’t enough—keep chasing new victories! 🏆 #Trivia #Motivation (11/n)
