Today, we want to tell you the untold story of the crocodile.
You have probably come across the popular story of crocodile many times; the strong crocodile lays in ambush in the lake, waits for its prey stealthily…
Timid gazelle approaches, the crocodile hunts the gazelle in one rapid movement. But that’s the story, crocodile also sheds tears…
The crocodile catching its prey and being extremely happy actually has a liquid flowing out of its eye physiologically because its jaw is opened too much. Of course, this liquid looking like tears has nothing to do with being sad. This is how the phrase “shedding crocodile tears” has emerged and started to being used for people pretending to be upset even though they are not upset about something.
Now, here is the untold story:
The crocodile comes to the waterfront to hunt and starts to wait for its prey without moving in ambush.
It can wait like this for days and with its cold-blooded metabolism, it can survive without food for several weeks. But this does not mean that the crocodile is not hungry.
A thirsty gazelle goes to the lake where the crocodile is laying in ambush. The gazelle has been thirsty for days, and the crocodile has been hungry for days.
The gazelle wants to quench its thirst, and the crocodile wants to feed itself.
The gazelle approaching the water timidly by checking its surroundings gets closer to the crocodile’s ambush without noticing…
The crocodile may be excited, maybe not. But it continues to wait for its prey. The moment gazelle is about to drink from the water when the crocodile attacks and catches its prey.
The rest is as you know…
Now let’s change the story a bit: the crocodile has been hungry for days, and it misses its final target, the gazelle.
It goes to its friends with sadness and says “I was by the lake, I found a really good place and lay in ambush. A gazelle came, I was about to catch it but it escaped.” It tells the story for days and laments…
This last scene does not sound reasonable, does it? Because no living creature other than human blames or complains about himself or other things. It simply focuses on its next goal and living on.
However, in each process, the human can create something to blame or complain about himself, someone else or, events. He even carries it as a burden on his shoulders, telling it for days, months, years.
Companies and organizations where the culture of complaint has started to grow should take immediate action. Because the crocodiles are lying in ambush, maybe they are about to return from the lake without the prey… They have missed their targets.
We leave the final word to the original owners of the story.
What you are complaining about, you are either the reason or a part of it.
