Interesting Story

[idcwby]

A "mouse" was put at the top of a jar filled with grains.
He was so happy to find so much food around him that no longer he felt the need to run around searching for food and now he could happily live his life.
After a few days of enjoying the grains, he reached the bottom of the jar.
Now he was trapped and he couldn't get out of it.
He now has to solely depend upon someone to put grains in the same jar for him to survive.
He also may not get the grain of his choice and he cannot choose either.
Here are a few lessons to learn from this:
1) Short term pleasures can lead to long-term traps (living on benefits/furlough/spoilt by parents perhaps?).
2) If things are coming easy and you are getting comfortable, you are getting trapped into dependency.
3) When you are not using your skills, you will lose more than your skills. You lose your CHOICES and FREEDOM.
4) Freedom does not come easy but can be lost very quickly.
NOTHING comes easily in life and if it comes easily, maybe it is not worth it..

Excellent story with many things to learn.

Here's a different story for the young guys and the old guys that didn't get it!

A small puppy dog was just wandering up to the railroad tracks. His small eyes could just see the tracks as he approached. He looked a bit left and right and just finished crossing when whooosh! A train rolled by and nipped the end of his tail off! The little puppy looks back at the tip on the tracks and waddled back to get it and then whooosh, another train rolled by and just lopped the puppy dog's head right off!
The moral of the story is, don't lose your head over a little tail!
