A farmer came into town and asked the owner of a restaurant if he could use a million frog legs.The restaurant owner was shocked and asked the man where he could get so many frog legs! The farmer replied, "There is a pond near my house that is full of frogs--millions of them. They croak all during the night and are about to drive me crazy!"
So the restaurant owner and the farmer made an agreement that the farmer would deliver frogs to the restaurant five hundred at a time for the next several weeks.
The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant looking rather sheepish, with two scrawny little frogs. The restaurant owner said, "Well...where are all the frogs?" The farmer said, "I was mistaken. There were only these two frogs in the pond. But they sure were making a lot of noise!"
Next time you hear somebody criticizing or making fun of you, remember it's probably just a couple of noisy frogs. Also--remember that problems always seem bigger in the dark.
Have you ever lain in your bed at might worrying about things which seem almost overwhelming- -like a million frogs croaking? Chances are pretty good that when the morning comes, and you take a closer look, you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.
When we are 40 we spend 60% of the time thinking what we want and 40% thinking about why we cant be bothered about what others think..
When we are 60 we spend thinking 40% of the time thinking what we did and the remaining time about others and what they did or didnt do..
When we are 80 we spend 20% of the time thinking and 80% growing old....
Most of the time when others think about us, its not they think about us, but them wondering what we think about them.... so much of thought goes into thinking about something that isnt or doesnt exist...
