Life is an enigma-Part 3

            I lost something today which I was holding long for about ten years.... When I was studying 11th standard my mom's last sister, my puppy chithi gave me a hair clip and till today nothing has happened to that clip though i use it very often. That clip fell down many times and still nothing happened to it. But today within a fraction of second it fell into lavatory and I can't get it back...I missed Something which was there with me for a long time in the memory of my Aunt today.. last time when I went home my aunt was surprised to see that on my hair and asked me for how many years I am holding it ?? Yes, Ten years is really incredible for a plastic hair clip to be durable !! Everything happens with a reason.... I wonder why that clip has to be with me this long and why all of a sudden today I have to miss it. Anyways, I rang to my aunt, regretted for loosing it and she said she will get me some new ones..Once again, a lesson learnt from this, " nothing is permanent, feel cool when you loose/miss something and accept the change"

Adjust or Face..???

I just came across this wonderful story of frog and I feel the moral from this story would help in right dealing of people and situations.




" Human Beings and frogs are the two creatures in nature who have tremendous power to adjust. 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 lost all its strength in adjusting with the 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 face. There are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action. 
If we allow people to exploit us physically, 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." 
        So Perfect, isn't it ?? We can adjust to an extent and beyond that we need to wake up. The difficulty lies in deciding whether its worth to adjust or raise up and face it. Before raising against, be sure to know the consequence and analyze whether you have the capacity to withhold it. At times, when our limit for patience crosses, all of a sudden we burst and as a result we are displayed as "bad" in that scenario. To avoid this, its always better to analyze, foresee about things happening around us. I realized the necessitate to learn the art of handling people in a right way and I feel we should not give space for anyone either to hurt or take us for granted.
