Animal based inspirational stories

1. The Frog in Hot Water

Once the frog fell in a vessel of the hot water. Water was still on a gas stove. The frog still did not try to jump out of the vessel, instead just stayed in it. As the temperature of the water started to rise, the frog managed to adjust its body temperature accordingly. As the water started to reach the boiling point, the frog was no longer able to keep up and manage its body temperature according to the water temperature.


The frog tried to jump out of the vessel but with water temperature reaching its boiling point, the frog was not able to bear it and couldn’t make it. What was the reason that a frog couldn’t make it? Will you blame the hot water for it?

Moral: The frog couldn’t make it due to its own inability to decide when it had to jump out. We all need to adjust according to the situations but there are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action when we have the strength to do so before it’s too late. Walk out before you need to jump.

2. The hare with many friends

A hare was very popular with the animals in the jungle who all claimed to her friends. One day she heard the hounds approaching her and hoped to escape them with the aid of her friends. So, she went to the horse and asked him to carry her away from the hounds of his back. But he declined, stating that he had important work to do for his master. He felt sure, he said that all her friends would come to her assistance.


She then replied to the bull and hoped that he would repel the hounds with his horns. The bull replied: I am sorry, but I have an appointment with the lady but I will sure that our friend the goat will do what you want. 

The Goat, however, feared that his back might do her some harm if he took her upon it. The ram, he felt sure, was the proper friend to ask for help. So she went to the ram and told him the case. The ram replied" Another time, my friend, I do not like to interfere on the present occasion, as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares.

The hare then applied, as the last hope, to the calf, who regretted that he was unable to help her, as he did not like to take the responsibility upon himself, as so many older persons than himself had declined the task. By this time the hounds were quite near, and the hare took to her heels luckily escaped. 

Moral of the story:- he that has many friends, but no friends.

Why is Mukesh Ambani more successful than Anil Ambani?

Many years ago, I interviewed someone from a company called John Crane, which supplies equipment to the oil and gas sector. This guy was a top official and he had come down from the US for a meeting with Mukesh Ambani. So, I asked him about his experience of dealing with the   elder Ambani brother. This is what he said: “Mukesh bhai is a wonderful person. But when he is seating at the negotiation table, very few can match his business acumen and homework. In fact, after the deal was over and we shook hands, I had to check if my hand was still with me. He's that sharp!” The above description of Mukesh Ambani is definitely a key reason why he is more successful than Anil Ambani! Above: The focus was always different! The death of their father Dhirubhai in 2002 sparked a battle for control which ultimately lead to the split of the Reliance Group. Their mother brokered a demerger in 2005, which gave Mukesh control of oil and gas, petrochemicals, refining and manuf...
