The Parable Of The Frog

By Wendyl Okay. Leslie
- Euripides
A number of years ago some scientists performed an experiment involving a little frog. Of their lab was a vat of steaming, boiling hot water. They wished to determine how the frog would react when dropped into the vat.
Armed in their white aprons, clipboards, pencils, goggles, and rubber gloves, they held the squirming little frog over vat. Focusing intently on what they have been about to do they dropped the frog …
ZING!!!
Faster than a bolt of blazed lightning that little man burst into the air, careening off the ceiling!
"Hmmmmm," the scientists murmured amongst themselves.
They did it once more. Similar frog, identical vat of steaming water and …
ZING!!!
It blasted from that vat like a bat out of Hades!
The scientists murmured amongst themselves again, recorded their notes, and determined to take the experiment a step additional. They took the same frog, and held it over a special vat of water. Solely this time the water was lukewarm, not too chilly, not too hot just right. They dropped the frog and …
NOTHING!!!
The little man simply laid there, floating lazily; arms and legs splayed gently on the water's floor. You'll be able to just imagine the frog's ideas: Man, that is all proper! That is perfect.
The frog laid in the water contented, comfortable, and relaxed. But - What the frog did not know was that beneath the vat was a raging fireplace. It was slowly, but absolutely, heating the vat of water. The contented frog, oblivious to the altering temperature, boiled to death End of story.
You are in all probability considering to your self: what a horrible story.
Assume once more. Apply this story of the frog to that of your individual life proper now. If any of you're like me, you then've in all probability come to a startling revelation. If you are actually severe about being profitable in attaining your goals in life, you want to make some changes.
If you're not shifting within the path you want to go to be able to understand your visions, your goals , your aspirations in life guess what? You may find yourself like our little frog. You will die in your individual complacency, mediocrity and contentment; a part of the ninety five% of folks who do not quite make it in life.
Learn the quote at the start of this text. For me the quote is sort of profound. And if you take it to heart, if you follow a solid recreation plan, if you examine laborious, work laborious, put within the effort and time success requires you may make it. You may win.
Get began. Mannequin yourselves after those who are succeeding. Two things I've learned about people who succeed in their endeavors:
1. They work extraordinarily laborious: 12-14 hour days are the norm. Actually, I catch these individuals up at 3 or 4 within the mornings working towards their dreams
2. The opposite quality that basically separates them is integrity! Reliable, reliable, reliable. They adhere to the KISS principle: Hold It Easy Silly! Their daily plan is simple, constant, persistent and real.
So, where are you? The place are you going? What are your goals? How are you going to get there? Are you making any progress?
It's been mentioned that there are two things in life which might be sure: loss of life and taxes. Now we all know there's a third: change. It you're not going anyplace, you may be like our little frog friend. Be cautious of contentment and complacency; by no means accept mediocrity. Follow the winners! You CAN do it!
