This is a continuation of the previous article on Food for our mind. The third story on frogs...
Story 3
Frogs again? oh, yes..frogs again... take 3 bowls of water, fill one with hot water, the other with cold water and the last one with lukewarm water. But a slow small flame is put under the last bowl. Put in the frogs onto each bowl.
The first frog will immediately jump out of the hot bowl, the water being too hot for comfort. The second frog will also immediately jump out of the cold water in the second bowl. It was too cold. The third frog when immersed inside the lukewarm bowl of water finds itself liking the temperature. It was just nice to sleep in.
The slow small flame is then adjusted and soon the frog fell asleep, cooked inside. Too comfortable, living in the lap of luxuries. will not move a person to climb up another step of success. There is nothing wrong, but can be a reason why people are not moving and achieving their goals.
Message of the story; when one is living in the lap of luxuries, and enjoying a comfortable lifestyle, one will also stop at his tracks and it is also one of the reason why people don't go the extra mile, to breakthrough..
Story 4
The peguins who learned to fly
There was a group of penguins who envied the eagles flying and soaring high in the sky. So, the head of the penguin decided to talk to the eagle to ask him to teach them how to fly. The eagle agreed to teach them how to fly. So, all the penguins learned to fly.
Early morning, they walked to the eagle's home to learn flying. At the end of the day, they lined up and walked home.
Soon the day came when the penguins baded goodbye to the eagles, they have mastered the skill of flying. Know what they did? They lined up and walked back, under the guidance of the head of the penguins. What a waste! My kids were laughing and telling me that those penguins were so stupid.
Sometimes we couldn't see our own silly mistakes. And need someone else to hint on it.
Message of the story; we may have all the knowledge or skills, but when one hoards it deep just for the sake of keeping them, no skills can be utilized. Putting what we have learnt into practice is one of the most effective tools to achieve one's goals. Don't be like those penguins.
Story 5
This is a story shared by my student who was also in my training class. As a trainer, one should confide in them and encourage them to go on stage to express oneself. They are in the learning stage. One should be able to recognize the different stages they are in and be observant to their needs and improvements.
It is also an animal story. Now, we have a rabbit. Here is the story....
One day, a white rabbit was wandering collecting its food. It has to be very alert while looking for food because the rabbit can be food for bigger animals too. The fittest only will survive in this animal kingdom.
Then it saw an eagle. yes, an eagle again, it saw that it can fly high and looked so strong. He wished that he could fly. He wished hard that he had wings that can fly easily and keep himself away from its enemies. He was so engrossed in his day dreaming that a nearby wolf pounced on him and was soon delicious supper for the wolf and his family.
It was just a simple story, but I acknowledged it to be a proof that he understood what I taught. It might be not the best story, but I know that he was contributing his best. It wasn't a surprise then. He explained that if one wants to go an extra mile[breakthrough], one should not dwell on day dreaming only.
One should plan his work and work his plans. Day dreaming will be a setback to those who are moving to get dreams realized. So, cheers to this student, we applauded loud for his courage to go on stage and was able to tell us this meaningful story although he is still so new in this business.
