July 30th, 2006: :: Adaptability ::

Given a choice, I would have said no to this posting.
Now that I'm thrown into the deep end of the pool, I swim.
And I'll do a synchronized swimming set with those around me, if necessary.
Since I'm already wet I may as well get rewarded for it.

While I'm treading water, I think.
If I'm able and going to adapt to my conditions and
Not only excel what what I do but enjoy doing it by adjusting internally.
When would I really know what I want to do?

I take a quick look around.
I make sure I'm not in a pot of water that's about to boil.

It doesn't take boiling water to kill. 60ºC is enough to kill. So, what powers of observation to you use to determine that the pot is not boiling over?

Maybe I should rephrase "I make sure" to
"I try to make sure".

I do not profess to know the answer.
What do you think?

I hope things work out eventually. :/

The problem, methinks, is that because things will always work out eventually, we'll never know what we should do.

Do you know how frogs can be cooked without knowledge?

If a frog is put into a boiling pot, it will jump out immediately.
But the frog can be cooked by turning up the heat gradually, while it adapts to the raising temperature. Ergo, a boiled frog.

Sometimes, adaptability and being comfortable to the environmental conditions may not be a good thing.

It's dangerous to accept parables as facts.

My bet is the 'frog' will jump out way the moment it feels uncomfortable in its environment, be it cold, warm or hot.
