The frog of a well

Frog in the well is a Chinese idiom which means a narrow-minded person. A frog that lives in the well feels that it is the only world. 

This proverb describes an individual who cannot or refuses to see the big picture. For example, you have no idea what skills are required because you are stuck in the same job with the same skills for a long time.

Anyone can relate this to his/her life experience and condition. Suppose a person working as a teacher in the same school for many years doesn't have an idea about what's advancement is going on in other schools until he hears or sees or joins another school. He feels that he knows everything. He has many skills but once he is forced to move to any other school, he gets to know that what he knows is not enough. He doesn't have enough skills. In a new place, he will learn a lot and a lot. Also, his perspective will be changed about everything. 

Taking some of the examples of an angry Principal: If you are seeing your Principal harsh attitude towards employees there are chances that you will be like that or you think Principals are like that it's normal. But once you moved to another school and saw that the Principal is behaving very nicely and is cooperative with employees your perspective will change. You will learn how to be nice even when you are on high posts. We all knew about the story of a frog of a well. It's not mean that frogs only live in a well. It is a well-known proverb. 

Same as that you are going to learn about rules, teaching techniques, and creativity. You will get polished. But if you will stick to the same place and the same people you are not going to explore the world. There is a need to stick to some people forever but not with all. 

We were born as blank-minded. We don't have any knowledge of anything. With time we learn many things. We learn how to speak and walk. Learn the names of the things. Learn face and eye expressions. Learn how to wear clothes and shoes.

Learning is a lifetime process. We all do that all over life. Learning about society is very important because we all are living in different societies and cultures. 

·                  We always learn something.

·                  Little information is not enough.

·                  We should learn.

·                  We should explore things. 

We should learn all the things. Book knowledge is not enough. We can seek knowledge from newspapers, magazines, people, and different things.
