The Cat and the Fox


One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. 'Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,' she said.


'I know only one trick to get away from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should teach me some of yours!'

'Well, maybe someday, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler ones,' replied the fox airily.


Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew louder and louder - the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. 'This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know,' she called down to the fox. 'Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?'

The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.



Moral: A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.


My Words: 
I experience this EVERYTIME I need to finish a project or something. I have lots of nice plans but they never get to work. I  would always end up passing works that are so simple and common. It is because I always change my mind. I always think of what ifs that makes me confused and change my plans again and again and again and it results to messy,messy outcomes. I can't stick to one perfect plan for doing my schoolwork, even my schedule gets messed up!
