The Scorpion And The Frog a short story

Once upon a time the scorpion asked to be friends with the frog and the frog accepted his friend request. And they became friends but

scorpion's feature was to sting and the frog was afraid of this scary effect because it would affect their relationship and it would be a toxic influence.

The frog had been wanting to walk away from the scorpion before the scorpion would take him down. He was becoming more discerning about the company of the scorpion. It was about time that he was decisive about this than something dooming happened. 

One day the scorpion asked the frog to carry him across the river on his back because he couldn't swim. The frog replied, "but how do I know you won't sting me while we are crossing?" The scorpion replied, "if I do that, we will both drown!" After thinking about it, the frog told him to hop on.

Half way across the river the scorpion stung him anyway. And they began to drown. The frog began to regret and the scorpion was embarrassed about the later happening.

As they were drowning, the frog said to the scorpion, "but you promised you wouldn't, why didn't you keep your word? Why did you sting me? The scorpion replied, "I couldn't help it, it's my nature to sting!"

Importance of having integrity in relationships

Integrity is the foundation no doubt it's for loving and enduring relationships. It takes humility to live by principles of integrity. If you were loving person you would be proud of yourself for living in integrity. Integrity sustains and strengthens intimacy in relationships. With integrity in relationships it means no lie. It also means there is no hidden agenda. It also means you can be trusted and there is reliability both your words and actions must be true.

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity ...
