A colorful and playful infographic titled 'Classroom Rules' on a grid background with doodles of school-related items like books, pencils, and globes. It visually explains the progression from 'Fantasy' to 'Fulfillment' using color-coded sections. Each section presents a different concept: 'Fantasy' (Goal - Deadline = Fantasy), 'Objective' (Goal + Deadline = Objective), 'Intention' (Goal + Deadline + Plan = Intention), 'Success' (Goal + Deadline + Plan + Consistent Action = Success), and 'Fulfillment' (Personal Meaningful Goal + Deadline + Plan + Consistent Action = Fulfillment). The design features pastel colors and bold text, making it engaging and easy to read.
