A small fly

Have you ever noticed how a fly tries to get out of a window?

 

There was a small fly that entered through one of the windows of the car.
And after a while, she wanted to get out from the same window, which was closed.
She flew around it from the left to the right from the top to the bottom to get out but it was hopeless.
She kept trying that until she got tired and exhausted all her energy and died.                   

The strange thing was that all the other windows of the car and all the other doors were open, but she did not try to look for any other way to get out and insisted on one way only which she tried over and over again until she died.

 Unfortunately after the first hit the fly won't be flexible and will try to get out again out of the same place where it got hit before!

The fly might remain inflexible for the next 10 minutes by insisting to solve the problem using the same way that didn't work while few inches away there may be a real opening where it can escape from!

Seems like a dumb fly right?

well if you think so then don't hate me for telling you that you might be doing the exact thing without noticing. 

Flexibility is one of the very important skills that every goal oriented person should have.

If you want to be flexible in life then put in mind that if something didn't work then you have to change your approach and try a different method.

  • Gozal Sister, sorry for typos
    You seems to be very thoughtful bloger and you wrote it greatly. Your ideas was not bad too, but every reader views one topic differently. The best readers are those, who share their candid opinions, which help the writer enhance writing skill. I try my level best to be honest with my opinion regardless of who thinks what. My opinion is that this fly teaches us "be yourself " I hope you would appreciate it.

    So far as difference between your fly and my mosquito is concerned, fly doesn't sting, whereas my lover does. :)

    You know I am here for more than three years, deleted my account twice, so you don't know the whole story. So it's better to let it go.
  • Do you like my fly or your mosquito.oO
    You have to be honest with your lover.
    She was kissing you the whole night.
    Maybe she will die kissing your cheeks. who knows.

    Becareful of the rug when it is pulled from underneath you can't stand up again;)

    My name is Gozal :)

    Thank you Arif

    I liked this fly, who kept struggling till death, but kept herself at her territory and didn't cross her border. The lesson is that to save life by going astray is not wisdom, but be at right side even till death, then he isn't died, but martyred. She followed this proverb "Be yourself " :)
  • Thank you Smile for your comment. It's always a pleasure :)
  • Thank you so much Anele for your comment.
    :) it has been great getting to know these little things.
  • Wow, you gave us a very valuable lesson by sharing this story.  

    Sad to say, there are some people who act like that fly, too!  How irritating it must be if you happen to meet that kind of a person!  But such kind needs special caring.  After all, people like the dumb fly are still human beings.

    Whoever observed that fly must be genius.  And he was also able to detect that it was a feminine fly.  Oh my!  Hihihi!

  • yeah you have a point there. the ego is the greatest enemy.

    thank you so much for your comment :)
