"Conformism, follow the same trend".

Two frogs, one lives in a pond and one lives in a puddle by the side of the road. The frog who lived in the pond told his neighbors that it would be safer to move to the pond. But the frog who lived in the puddle didn't think so, thinking that there was no need to move unless it was in danger. As a result, the frog that lived in the puddle was run over by the car and died.

This parable tells us that conformism and conformism tend to reap the consequences.

Dialectical materialism holds that the world is constantly changing and developing, and it is necessary to look at problems from the perspective of development. "Three days of farewell, that is, more impressive", the two frogs in the story, failed to see the problem from the perspective of development, although they lived next to each other, but the ending was very different.

From a philosophical point of view, this parable also inspires us to pay attention to the qualitative change caused by quantitative change. The frogs living in the puddles are content with the fact that they are "not in any danger" and do not care about the change in their living environment. However, it is this neglect of graduality that leads to the final qualitative change – being run over by the car. This is exactly what "evil always accumulates in small ways."

In fact, similar phenomena are not uncommon in real life. For example, some **, when they first entered the career, they were still able to be honest and clean, but with the promotion of status and the increase of power, they gradually relaxed their requirements for themselves, and began to **, and eventually fell in prison, and regretted it. For another example, some enterprises, at the beginning of the business, can be conscientious and hard-working, but once they have some achievements, they begin to pursue comfort and enjoyment, and finally be eliminated in the fierce market competition. "Don't take the evil as small", if you can't prevent it, you will "make a mistake and become a thousand hatreds".

Of course, this parable also tells us that it is very necessary to "be prepared for danger in times of peace" and "take precautions". However, in emphasizing this point, we cannot ignore another fact: the frog in the puddle is reluctant to move because it is "reluctant to leave the place where it is used to". In a sense, it is this idea of "being content with the status quo" that led to its eventual tragic fate. This reminds me of the story of "boiled frogs in warm water": if you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out immediately; But if you put it in warm water and then heat it slowly, the frog will be cooked before you know it. In the process, although the frog senses the change in water temperature, due to inertia and habit, it does not take timely action and eventually loses the opportunity to escape.

Spencer Johnson, author of Who Moved My Cheese, said, "The only constant is change itself." "In this era of rapid change, we should not blindly stick to the old habits and patterns like the frog in the story, but should dare to innovate and change, so as to be invincible in the competition.

Gou is new, new every day, and new", let us look at the problem from the perspective of development, not conformist, follow the trend, and add color to life with innovation!
