Jump or Adjust : The Boiling Frog Theory
Put a frog into a vessel fill with water and start heating the water. As the temperature of the water begins to rise, the frog adjust 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 with 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.
Need to be sure when we need to adjust, when we all need to adjust with people & situations, but we need to move on. There are times when we need to face the situation and take appropriate actions.
If we allow people to exploit 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.
उपरोक्त कहानी सहारा मीडिया के इंप्लाइज पर सटीक बैठती है. पचास हजार सेलरी वालों को छह महीने से पंद्रह हजार रुपये मिल रहे हैं और अस्सी हजार सेलरी वालों को सत्रह हजार रुपये मिल रहे हैं लेकिन ये लोग अब भी घर की जमा पूंजी फूंक कर सहारा कर्मी बने हुए हैं. क्या ये तब बेरोजगार होना पसंद करेंगे जब खुद की सारी जमा पूंजी खत्म हो जाएगी या उसके पहले कुछ नया करने, नया तलाशने और नया शुरू करने का प्रयास करेंगे.
