Today, I got a call from a friend who is currently jobless because he resigned from his first job before he actually gets the second one. Now, the second one is not sure and he becomes jobless.
While he was talking about his joblessness, I remembered about the leeches to which I watched about 30 minutes long, sometimes.
When I was young, we had a little channel in front of our yard that the water went down through in the raining season. In that water-channel, there were many leeches. I watched them sometimes very interestingly. The most interesting part what I found was when they searched the way to go in land or on a material. A leech is like a soft tube without bone, in my sense. It has one bigger hole at the back and one smaller hole in front. When a leech goes forward or moves, the smaller / front part could be searching around till it finds something to firmly step on it. Unless she finds something firmly by her front part, a leech never takes off her back part. In a very narrow matter, to find a new space to step on is difficult for a leech, but she would never take off her back part.
I told my friend that he should learn from a leech in this case that he should not resign his first job before he actually finds the second one firmly. He laughed and said that next time; he will act like a leech. Our conversation was just for fun, but it is true that there are unlimited lessons those we can learn from the nature around us.
Thanks!
