Today, a slice of wisdom from the famous Aesop Fables.

This is for anyone about to take a leap into the unknown ...

Two frogs lived together in a marsh. But one hot summer the marsh dried up, and they had to leave to find somewhere nice and damp ... as is the whim of frogs.

On their travels, they came to a deep well.

One of them looked down and said, “This looks like a nice cool, damp place. Let's jump in and settle here”.

But the other frog, who had a wiser head on his shoulders, replied, "Not so fast, my friend. Supposing this well dried up like the marsh - how would we ever get out again?"

The wisdom behind this simple little tale is ...

Look (and think) before you leap!

Something may look good, but do your research first. Only take that leap when you're absolutely sure it's the best choice.

Of course, in some instances, leaping into the unknown – without a care in the world – can be an exhilarating choice. But that's another story for another time!

For now ... look before you leap!
