Take that Leap

    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.
