An Interesting Story
A group of frogs jumped into a pool of water which was a bit deep, and so the frogs found it difficult to jump out to land.
As they struggled to jump out, one of the frogs said to the others out of frustration and despair, “We can never make it out of this pool no matter how we try. This pool is too deep.”
On hearing this one of the frogs who appeared very frightened that he would drown replied, “Then I can as well die to end this torture,” and on that, he just died.
While the remaining frogs yelled and cried in fright and apparently waiting for death, one particular frog kept on trying to jump out to no avail while others wailed. The more he tried, the more the others cried in desperation and yelled at him to stop.
“Quit trying because you will never make it. Did you not hear what frog A said, ‘We can never make it out of here, no matter how we try.’ You even get us more scared by that unfruitful attempt of yours,” they cried.
But the more they screamed and yelled at him to quit, the more persistent he tried. And finally he jumped out of the pool. Seeing that he had succeeded the other frogs cried the more. Unfortunately for the successful frog he could not hear them, so he just answered, “Sorry guys, but I am deaf and do not understand what you are saying.” All the while he was trying to jump he actually thought the screams and yells were to encourage him to press on.
So many times we are faced with similar scenario whether or not to forge ahead with life. By life here I mean both the physical life and otherwise. One facing a difficult or hard time does not need discouraging words irrespective of the fact that your point could actually be the truth. What such a person needs is encouragement to hang on for a little while; who knows, the story may change.
I am sure this story is a great lesson for us to try and try and try again whatever we are doing. but, one has to encourage the efforts instead of discouragement. Besides, InshALLAH tomorrow I will post my article. And Yes pearlyS I am again thankful to you for a nice assistance and kindly keep in touch with me. Thanks...
