Interpreting the significance of The Frog's Story. A frog escaped from the oil pan.
/kloc-In the 9th century, researchers at Cornell University in the United States threw a frog into a boiling oil pan. In this deadly battle, the frog with quick response struggled to jump out and escape safely. After that, they filled more than half of the cold water in the pot, then put the frog in, and then gradually warmed it up; Frog doesn't know what it is, but still enjoys "warmth" in warm water. When it began to realize that the water temperature in the pot was unbearable, it was too late to jump out to survive. It tried to be weak, paralyzed, lying in the water and finally buried in the bottom of the pot. The result of the story is very intriguing: when faced with obvious danger, frogs can plan ahead, but turn a blind eye to the potential crisis and finally suffer a big loss. This is the famous theorem that frogs commit suicide in warm water.

Man is as inert as a frog. Once they get used to a comfortable life, they are easy to covet comfort, satisfy the status quo, and are unwilling to take a step forward. But if it goes on like this, it will not escape the fate of the "warm water frog" and will be burned to death comfortably without knowing it. The real environment is like a basin of invisible warm water. Although the process of knowledge economy and globalization is accelerating, we don't seem to think it has much to do with ourselves. Maybe we occasionally talk about the pressure from the environment, but more often, we are happy with the status quo and even go with the flow. This result is not much different from that of the frog in warm water.

In order not to repeat the tragedy of frogs, the most fundamental way is to eliminate inertia, enhance the sense of crisis and responsibility, take the initiative to self-pressurize and charge, and always keep the spirit of struggle and forge ahead. Laozi said: "Whether there is mutual strength, difficulty is complementary, length is in phase, height is in phase, and sound is in phase." It is about the interdependence between the two sides of the contradiction. So be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared for danger in times of peace. Frogs in warm water, because they hide in the pot, don't look up at the world around them, and even repel the world around them, eventually end up dead. It is unwise to fantasize that one thing can last a lifetime, so always fantasize about an invisible warm water, and never repeat the mistake of frog committing suicide with chronic warm water!
