This is the story of two frogs.
One frog was fat and the other skinny. One day, while searching for food, they
inadvertently jumped into a vat of milk. They couldn't get out, as the sides
were too slippery, so they were just swimming around.
The fat frog said to the skinny
frog, "Brother frog, there's no use paddling any longer. We're just going
to drown, so we might as well give up." The skinny frog replied,
"Hold on brother, keep paddling. Somebody will get us out." And they
continued paddling for hours.
After a while, the fat frog said,
"Brother frog, there's no use. I'm becoming very tired now. I'm just going
to stop paddling and drown. It's Sunday and nobody's working. We're doomed.
There's no possible way out of here." But the skinny frog said, "Keep
trying. Keep paddling. Something will happen, keep paddling." Another
couple of hours passed.
The fat frog said, "I can't
go on any longer. There's no sense in doing it because we're going to drown
anyway. What's the use?" And the fat frog stopped. He gave up. And he
drowned in the milk. But the skinny frog kept on paddling.
Ten minutes later, the skinny
frog felt something solid beneath his feet and suddenly hopped out of the vat.
Reflections:
-The difference between perseverance
and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong
won't.
-If we don't give up easily, may
be we are in for a pleasant surprise! Perhaps this is one of the best examples
of a never-say-die attitude.
-When the future (market) outlook
is uncertain and bleak, it’s important to live the values and demonstrate
higher levels of customer focus passion to win.
