NEED TO THINK LONG



           One day a fox was walking in the forest. There was and old well with clean water there so he can reflect on it. Because he was too engrossed there, he accidentally fallen and could not get out, because the old well was quite deep and too high for the fox to climb and jump up to get out. A few moments later there was a goat came to the well.

          Goats then asked the fox, “What are you doing?” “I’m enjoying the sweetest water I have ever drunk,” replied the fox. The goat then said,” It would be nice if I could also enjoy it”. The fox asked, “Why do you not join me?” Without thinking long, the goat then enter into the well and the fox immediately climbed into the back of the goat of and jumped out well to leave the goat. Now in turn the goat cannot get out of the well. The goat felt cheated and exploited by the fox. 

          Hurry attitude without thinking always made us doing mistakes that actually no necessary happen.  Especially if it’s easy to be tempted by the enticements of others, it will make us easier to get caught up in the mistake. We many want to immediately get the result as we want, but the hurry attitude does not bring benefit to us but will only bring losses alone. Not only in terms of materials, but also in all of our lives. For example, many people are tempted by a promo with cheap product, but after he bought, in fact, the quality is far below the standard.  So also in choosing a mate. Many people are tempted by appearance, wealth, status and something that looks out, but it turns out to bad character. In the end, his life will not be happy and his household would fall apart.

          Therefore, make it a habit to think long in facing any existing problems. Investigate the truth in any information. Do not in a hurry decisions especially in an emotional state. Ask for God,s wisdom and pray before doing everything that God always leads us to consider and decide each case wisely so that obtain the best results.
