The Dog and the Rabbit

This story outlines the basic difference between the efforts which make it to the results and the ones which turns to be a failure.

Sam is a 2 year old pet dog of the premises. He is very sincere in guarding the place where he is living. Sam always felt that he has all the ingredients of a successful dog.

It was a sunday morning. Sam, was about to finish his morning walk. He noticed a Rabbit (Jam), which was playing happily. Though Jam noticed Sam's presence, he continued his play. Sam got worried and wanted to threten Jam and went to catch him.

So Sam prepared himself and went running towards Jam. But Jam was smart enough to escape from him. However hard Sam tries to catch Jam, it was all in vain. Sam was trying hard enough, but nothing happened till the lunch time.

Sam went for his lunch and came back again in action to catch Jam. He tried all his tactics, energy and smart Jam could manage to escape from all. Finally, it was getting darker, and Jam gets into his hole.

Sam was upset with this. And he went near Jam's hole and asked him, Hey Jam, I'm stronger than you, taller than you, experienced than you, but still could not succeed in my efforts to catch you. I don't know the reason. Jam politely replied, but I know the answer. And he said, Sam you were running for your food and I was running for my life. That's the secret behind my success.

Moral :
  1. Having enough energy, strength, resources to achieve something is not all that important
  2. Having a strong reason to achieve something is more important
  3. And pursue you efforts with the thinking that you are running for your life
