 Story of The group of frogs

We take many decisions in our life that are inspired by others life. Obviously before taking any decision, we should consider the views of others like family ,close friends ,teachers etc. which   helps us to take the right decision in our life. But I think there is a important point we should understand before follow these things.

I am remembering a story that is based on how much we get influenced by the words of others and forget to use our brain to solve the problem. We should focus only on good words comes from others.

Once upon a time, a swarm of frogs were wandering in search of a new place to dry up the pond. Even after wandering for a long time, he did not find any pond, he made sure that he would stay for some time and rest. Two of the frog’s children mischievously fell into a deep pit, their mother very upset to see this. He called for help  and asked what to do to save my children.

Everyone started giving the opinion that this pit is very deep, we cannot remove and even if they try, they cannot leave ,they will die in there.

Hearing this, frog’s mother became very disappointed and looked quietly and towards her children.

The frog’s children were constantly trying to come up, but were falling. One of the frog’s children, after listening to the people, believed and he stopped trying now while the other child did not stop trying.

The frog’s children were constantly jumping and trying to come up, but they were failing to come outside. One of the frog’s child, after listening to the people, believed and he stopped trying and fall down in deep pit. while the other child did not stop trying to come outside.

Eventually he managed to come out and his mother was very happy, but the second child didn’t make out to come outside and died in there.

All the frogs started to wonder, how did it get out?

The frog’s mother told the swarm that this child is deaf, cannot hear anything. It felt that all the people had been standing here and encouraging me that you could come outside and I kept trying and became successful .

Here we see carefully on the situation that we are very much influenced by what other say or what other think about us. These things are good for us as long as they are positive, if these things are negative then we start failing to achieve our goal. 

One of the children of the frog was negatively affected by the talk of others and lost his life. Whereas, because of not listening to a child, he started encouraging people about the matter and he kept trying and became successful.

Moral of the story

From this story, we learn two things,

1. We should keep always positive attitude to face difficulties in our life and the courage to not give up.

2- We should not learn from blind thoughts or negative words of others by closed eyes. We should always take decisions by understanding and thinking about it.
