Rewards and Survival

  A “mouse" was put at the top of a jar filled with grains  He was too happy to find so much of food around him. Now he doesn't need to run around searching for food and can happily lead his life. As he enjoyed the grains, in a few days' time, he reached the bottom of the jar. Now he is trapped and he cannot come out of it  He has to solely depend upon someone to put grains in the same jar for him to survive. He may even not get the grain of his choice and he cannot choose either. If he has to live, he has to feed on whatever has been put into the jar. 

Here are the top 4 learnings from this:  

1) Short term pleasures can lead to long-term traps and need to be careful

2) If things are coming easy without asking and you are getting into a zone of comfort, you are getting trapped into survival mode 

3) When you are not using your potential and not upgrading skills, you are losing it 

4) If you don't take the right action at the right time, you will finish what you have and will be in no position to come out..
