Realisation of Life : Pelajaran dari Seekor Katak

Pertanyaan : Apa yang membunuh katak itu?
Banyak dari kita yang menjawab air mendidih.
Tapi nyatanya yang membunuh katak itu adalah ketidakmampuannya untuk memutuskan kapan ia harus melompat keluar.

Kita semua perlu menyesuaikan diri dengan orang-orang dan situasi, tapi kita pun harus yakin kapan kita perlu menyesuaikan dan kapan menghadapinya.

Ada saat dimana kita harus menghadapi situasi dan mengambil tindakan yang sesuai.

Jika kita membiarkan orang mengeksploitasi kita secara fisik, mental, emosional, ataupun finansial, mereka akan terus mengeksploitasi kita.

Kita harus memutuskan kapan untuk melompat.

Melompatlah selama masih kuat.

-English Version-

So, put a frog in a vessel of water and start heating the water.
As the temperature of the water rises, the frog is able to adjust its body temperature accordingly.
The frog keeps on adjusting with increase in temperature...
Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog is not able to adjust anymore...
At that point the frog decides to jump out...
The frog tries to jump but is unable to do so, because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature...
Very soon the frog dies.

What killed the frog?
Many of us would say the boiling water...
But the truth is what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when it had to jump out.

We all need to adjust with people and situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust and when we need to confront/face.
There are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action...
If we allow people to exploit us physically, mentally, emotionally or financially, they will continue to do so...

We have to decide when to jump.
Let us jump while we still have the strength.
