 The Scorpion and the Frog


The Scorpion and the Frog is a fable about trust, human nature and malevolence. One of the many versions goes as follows:



A scorpion asks a frog to carry him over a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, both would sink and the scorpion would drown. The frog then agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When asked why, the scorpion points out that this is its nature.


Unknown

The moral of the story: You can’t outsmart human nature. Be realistic about changing vicious people; sometimes they even act against their own interests.




A thunderous sound of hooves echoes across the vast prairie. A lone rider gallops across an open plain with a sense of freedom and exhilaration. This only comes from listening to nature’s rhythms. 


He understands how to ride, but as any experienced equestrian will tell you, this is not enough. The true measure of a rider’s skill is how well they know how to fall.  


Life will inevitably bring challenges and setbacks. So, the question is not whether we will fall, but how we will respond to the fall. Will we be defeated, or will we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and try again?  


The Native American proverb suggests that life is not just about victorie

“If men would consider not so much wherein they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling in the world.”

 A Short Story About Foolish Monkeys


A Short Story About Foolish Monkeys

Here’s one of the funnier inspirational short stories I’ve come across:


It was a cold and silent night. The weather was cold. A group of monkeys was on a tree. They were clinging to its branches. One of the monkeys said, “I wish we could find some fire. It will help us to keep warm.”



Suddenly they noticed a flock of fireflies. One of the young monkeys mistook it for fire, so he grabbed the firefly. He put it under a dry leaf and started blowing at it. Some other monkeys also joined in his efforts.


Meanwhile, a sparrow came flying to its nest on the same tree the monkeys were sitting on.


She noticed what they were doing. The sparrow laughed. She said, “Hey silly monkeys, that is a firefly, not real fire. I think all of you should take shelter in a cave






The monkeys did not listen to the sparrow. They continued to blow at the poor firefly.


After some time, the monkeys became very tired. Now they realized that what the sparrow had said was correct. They set free the firefly and moved to a nearby cave.


Moral of the Story


While persistence is one of the most defining qualities of a good student, there’s always something new to be learned every day!



The monkeys in the story sure are persistent, but their hard work doesn’t pay off because they refused to listen, at least initially.


Always listen to your elders, they know better!



“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
– Rumi

Let them be unkind.
Let them gossip.
Let them criticize you.
Just don't listen.
They are picking on you
Because they feel badly
About themselves.
No one can take away
Your worth, unless you let them..!

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY TRAILS . BLESSINGS
What you can do about feeling as if you've
lost control?
Have faith that something greater than you
will reach down and place you on the path
to recovery.
Joy bows its head when we are grieving,
but its nature is to rise up again.
Remember the unanswered prayer is never
the unheard prayer. Creator's answer may be
"not yet".
