The right time to

-

Once upon a time, a child was playing in the garden. He saw a frog jumping and took steps towards it. The baby tried harder to catch it, though it wasn’t easy at all. Her parents called and called, but the child decided to stay silent until he caught the frog.


Recently, the child caught the frog. He was extremely happy and wanted to play with it. After that, the child remembered that his parents were calling him. Then he decided to go and talk to them.

 

Happily, the child said, "Mom and Dad, I am here," but nobody replied. The child looked up and downstairs, but there was nobody around. He decided not to think about it too much and moved on to play with the frog.

 

The frog started to try and escape because it thought something bad was about to happen (just a feeling), even though the child was just doing things to make himself happy.

 

The child thought the frog was cold and put it in a boiling pan. The frog kept calm, though it had a bad feeling. As the temperature of the water increased, the frog proportionally increased its temperature in order to adapt. (The child was happily watching the frog but did nothing.)

 

Lately, the water’s temperature reached its maximum, and the frog couldn’t raise its temperature to that extent and thus died. The baby started  crying loudly and sadly. There was nobody around to take control of what was taking place. Occasionally, an old man passed by.

 

He asked a baby what happened, and the boy told him the whole story. The old man smiled and said, "My son, take that event as a lesson. You will be in different situations where you have to make the right decision at the right time. The frog felt bad about putting it in hot water. As the temperature increased, the frog delayed pulling itself out. There will be many similar cases in life where the pressure will be high. My son knows the right time to be out when it’s still possible, because at some points they will have no chance of going back."

 

Lately, the child smiled and thanked the old man for the best advice.

At first, we think nothing is big as we try to route the escape way by shaping our mistakes in simple actions. We start to progressively create a bomb of regret full of bad decisions. In that moment, nothing seems to scare us since we just focus on finding excuses rather than improvements. Our hearts fully know that we aren’t right, but we amend our mind to fit within the situation. Sadly, not by adapting for good but searching for scapegoats of our faults.   That’s all we think, poor minds. Furthermore, people lack discipline to recognize themselves. The world is teaching people that discipline is respecting others and their perception but makes them dumb to their own. Dumb by forgetting their worth, dumb by neglecting their visions, dumb by feeding their ego of being appreciated, thus starting to overwork feeding stress and overloaded with depression.   In contrast, we shouldn’t be the victims of our own faults more than once. One for recognizing our mistakes; that...

The Art of Understanding

The more you invest in understanding things, the more you realize you know nothing much of what you should have known. You think that focusing is the only thing that changes everything until you get stuck in no position where you have no reason to quit or progress. Sometimes, you think you are not getting enough because you didn’t give your all. That is; you didn’t work hard. But the answer is no. Not all days are brighter anyway. One day you earn, the other day you learn. But then, you must understand something that really creates a positive impact on life. That is, not everything needs more of the effort we are investing. Slowly, you realize that for something to be valuable, it must match the input and output at the same time. Not investing much for less or less for much. The output must match the input. In addition, you grow to the extent no motivation or support would push you when you   start to think deeply of the little things you used to do as part of your daily activi...

Code of conduct

All of the greatest moment we have in this life comes from the perception of how we try to give our all to something we are doing. The only thing that allows us to feel free to do something is the expectation. As we experience more of what we expect, we slowly create a desire for having a next turn. After a long way thinking of how the system works, I came to realize that a column of misunderstanding can’t be mixed with a column of understanding for better result, thus each must be aligned for betterment. How did it sound? So simple to you but it is not what it is. Take a deep breath and rethink about it again. This wasn’t a simple thought to me, here I’ve learnt that you can’t get the best when you still mix clear with unclear mind. Far from the comfort is where the best comes. In the modern world, the working system significantly changed to a critical system that requires a less effort, innovative and strategic approach. This is working smart. This reflects realities where thinki...
