THE FROG IN A PAIL OF FRESH MILK: DETERMINATION

-

A nice short story on Determination. Once a big fat Frog and a lively little Frog were hopping along together when they had the misfortune of jumping into a pail of fresh milk. They swam for hours and hours hoping to get out somehow; but the sides of the pail were steep and slippery and death seemed to be certain.

When the big Frog was exhausted he lost courage. There seemed no hope of rescue. "Why keep struggling against the inevitable? I cannot swim any longer." He moaned.
"Keep on! Keep on!" urged the little Frog, who was still circling the pail. So they went on for a while. But the big Frog decided it was no use.

"Little brother, We may as well give up" he gasped. "I am going to quit struggling."Now only the little Frog was left. He thought to himself. "Well, to give up is to be dead, so I will keep swimming."
Two more hours passed and the tiny legs of the determined little Frog were almost paralysed with exhaustion. It seemed as if he could not keep moving for another minute. But he thought of his dead friend, and intoxicated with determination, the little Frog kept on swimming around and around the pail, chopping the milk into white waves. After a while, just as he felt completely numb and thought he was about to drown, he suddenly felt something solid under him.

To his astonishment, he saw that he was resting on a lump of butter which he had churned by constant paddling! And so the successful little Frog leaped out of the milk pail to freedom.
"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try."

Fraternities encouraged in our higher institutions are suppose to promote active intellectualism with demand for a lifetime of sacrifice for the sake of humanity. cultism and violence The term cultism which is mostly used in our institutions seems to have sadly lost their founders ways derailing from a Benigan cult (i.e. the good guys) to a destructive cult (i.e. the bad guys).
