Hi,
A very good Saturday morning to YOU! Hope you are doing great. We are all in pursuit of something or the other. We put in our best efforts in order to achieve what we want in our life. Certain of our goals require not only hard but also persistent efforts. Are there times that even the hard work and persistence didn’t help? What might have been the reasons? Please read this week’s Saturday Story...The Story of a Fly...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a small fly burning out the last of its short life's energies in a futile attempt to fly through the glass of the windowpane. The whining wings tell the poignant story of the fly's strategy— try harder. But it's not working.
It is impossible for the fly to try hard enough to succeed at breaking through the glass. Nevertheless, this little insect has staked its life on reaching its goal through raw effort and determination. However hard the fly may try to break through the window pane, it will not be able to succeed. This fly is doomed. It will die there on the windowsill very soon.
Across the room, ten steps away, the door is open. Ten seconds of flying time and this small creature could have reached the outside world. With only a fraction of the effort now being wasted, it could have been free of this self-imposed trap. But its idea of doing it ‘the way it has done all along’ and ‘more of it’ is not necessarily the solution.

Great observation Dr Pritchett! Well, it is important to be persistent until one succeeds. But it is also worth looking at the way that is adopted for achieving a chosen goal. Doing it the way it has been done all along, one could expect the same result that one has been getting. There are many things in our life that we attempt achieving with added effort and that too repeatedly in the same way. Is there a different way that it could be tried so that the breakthrough could be achieved sooner and faster? Someone said, “Successful people don’t do different things, but they do things differently.”
