When We Need To Take The Rightful Decision.

Put A Frog In A Vessel Of Water And Start Heating The Water.
As The Temperature Of Water Rises, 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 But 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? Many Of Us Would Say The Boiling Water.
No, It's Frog's 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 Take The Rightful Decision.
