It’s easy to think that bedtime stories are for kids. It’s weird for a 15y/o to head over to their parent’s room and asked for story time. 😅 After spending the summer with my 4 y/o niece, and reading many bedtime stories, I love how it teaches life lessons in such simple language.
There’s an old riddle that says five frogs are sitting on a lily pad. One decides to jump off. How many are left?
If your answer is “four”, thank your maths teacher for your excellent maths skills. Unfortunately, this is not a test of your maths abilities.
It’s a life problem.
The correct answer is “five”. Yes, all five are still sitting there on the lily pad.
The one frog only decided to jump but hasn’t.
Life is not a spectator sport; it’s indeed a contact sport. and there are no practice sessions, and you’ve been in the game from day one.
As cliche as it seems ‘The journey starts with a single step’ — not by thinking about taking that step.
Moral: Be the frog who not only decides to jump off the lily pad but actually jumps.
