The Boiling Frog Syndrome

Put a frog into a vessel filled with water and start heating the water.

As the temperature of the water begins to rise, the frog adjusts its body temperature accordingly.

The frog keeps adjusting its body temperature with the increasing temperature of the water. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog cannot adjust anymore. At this point, the frog decides to jump out.

The frog tries to jump but it is unable to do so because it has lost all its strength in adjusting to the rising water temperature.

Very soon the frog dies.

What killed the frog?

Think about it!

I know many of us will say the boiling water.

But the truth about what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when to jump out.

We all need to adjust to people & situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust & when we need to move on.

There are times when we need to face the situation and take appropriate actions.

If we allow people to pressurize us physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually or mentally they will continue to do so...

Let us decide when to jump!

Let's jump while we still have the strength.

I hope many people will read it and it would be helpful...!

One thing I must say in the end, "Know Your Worth!"

|| Lord Krishna & Today's Arjuna ||

A rare conversation between Krishna & Today's Arjuna . It's one of the best conversations I have come across. 1. Arjuna :- I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic and complex. Krishna :- Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you free. 2. Arjuna :- Why has life become complicated now? Krishna :- Stop analyzing life... It makes it complicated. Just live it. 3. Arjuna :- Why are we then constantly unhappy? Krishna :- Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy. 4. Arjuna :- Why do good people always suffer? Krishna :- Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience, their life becomes better, not bitter. 5. Arjuna :- You mean to say such experience is useful? Krishna :- Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. It gives the test first and the lessons later. 6. Arjuna :- Because...

Life Lessons - Learnt From The Characters Of The Mahabharata

Here is a list of ten characters and what we can learn from what was once remembered by Vyasa and what was once heard by Arjuna. 1. Krishna taught us that one must perform his duty. Krishna opens his mouth and shows the entire cosmos to Arjuna. Krishna tells Arjuna that Dharma is both rock-like (Dhar) and pliable like wax (Flowing). Dharma is not your institutional religion. It is your natural and binding duty. It is of ethical nature and you are born with it. A king’s dharma is to perform his kingly duties. Dharma holds the cosmos together. Krishna teaches us how to be dutiful in challenging times. 2. From Duryodhana, we learned that ' pride comes before the fall .' Duryodhana teaches us how blind swa-dharma (desires for your own Self) can lead you to "Adharma." Duryodhana's greed is wrong, his methods are wrong. He teaches us that blind pride and wrong actions have consequences and one must be careful and thoughtful about their actions and thoughts....
