2. A Leap That Changed Everything
One day, the grasshopper had managed to get out. Because it's out of this safe box that's locking him up. The grasshopper was full of happiness; what he had been waiting for had finally come true.
Happiness that can be enjoyed can be expressed through a leap that looks here. Until one day, he encountered another swarm of grasshoppers. Where the grasshopper he met was able to make a much higher and longer jump.
The grasshopper who used to be in the box wondered what the secret was behind the high and long jumps of the other grasshoppers. With great curiosity, finally the grasshopper that was in the box asked the other herd.
"What can be seen higher and further than me, if the age and size of our bodies remain the same, what's the secret?" curiously asked the grasshopper. With these words, the other locusts were astonished and began to answer them.
"Where have you been all this time? It's only natural that grasshoppers in the wild can do what I'm doing," answered the grasshopper with a long jump earlier. Instantly, the answer made the grasshopper that was freed from the box happy.
He felt that he had given up on the situation for too long, wasted time, was not confident and was afraid to try.
Did you know that the condition of the grasshopper in the box is also often experienced by us? We often experience failure, speech, ridicule, being without the support of others, and much more. We often limit ourselves and do not dare to try because there is no outside support.
We get too hung up on what other people say and start to change our mindset as if what we haven't tried is bound to get a bad result. So when there are other people, we can start to wonder what the secret is.
Even though courage, unyielding, patience, and enthusiasm under any circumstances are some of the factors that can make us closer to the gate of success, you know. Let's change our mindset to be bolder in taking the first step closer to success.
So don't be afraid to take risks. Sometimes, if we don't try, we don't know the result. As written by Nicholas Marpaung in the book "Deer Jumps Jumping Higher". This book explains that we must have the courage to "burst" and not be picky in our work in order to achieve the expected success.

At the same time, a deer came. The deer tried to put its horns into the little boy's clothes. so that the little child is like being lifted on a deer's antler. Immediately, the child was afraid of the deer and cried while shouting for his mother.
Reflexively, the mother came out of the house and began to see what was happening. Unexpectedly, the child had been carried away into the forest by the deer. The mother tried her best to chase the deer into the forest.
But when he got to the forest, the little boy that the deer brought was already in the wide grass area and playing as usual. The mother was so happy to have found her child and started holding her child.
They returned to their home. But what happened? It turned out that the house had been hit by a large tree. Of course, the condition of the house becomes shattered. The mother started to think if she was still inside without chasing the child, what would have happened to her?
Instantly, he remembered that several years earlier he had saved a fawn from a hunter. The mother covered the fawn with various kinds of cloth so as not to be caught by the hunters. When the hunters were gone, the mother took the cloth covering the deer and started releasing the deer into the forest.
Unexpectedly, the deer that brought his cub was the deer he had saved first. It was as if the fawn was trying to thank its mother by taking its cub to run into the forest to save the mother's family from a fallen tree hatman.
From this incident, the mother said to the child that if we help all of God's creatures, no matter how small, they will turn to us.
From this little story, we can also learn how important it is to help God's creatures, regardless of anything. Because all the seeds of goodness that we sow later will be reaped in the future.
If we don't reap, maybe it will be our children and grandchildren who will reap. Nothing to lose to help God's creation.

He began to gather all the villagers and tell a joke. Everyone was laughing at the joke that the scholar had brought. On the second day, the scholars again gathered the villagers.
The scholar was still telling the same jokes, with the end result that the villagers burst into laughter. The next day, the scholar returns to tell the same joke. However, the response given by the villagers was slightly different from the previous two days.
One of the villagers started asking why the scholar was reading the same joke. They get tired of the same jokes that the scholar reads.
The scholar also answered with a few sentences, "if at the same joke you can get bored and can't laugh again, why with the same problem can still make you cry?"
This means that the villagers think too much about one problem in their lives without looking for a solution. All they do is complain, complain, complain without any action.
Without realizing it, we are often like villagers who like to complain about the problems they are facing. In fact, we often focus on problems rather than how to solve them.
This is what keeps us in the same position. If possible, we dare to try to solve the problem. Then maybe the habit of complaining is not in us.
Let's start from now on by trying to find more ways to get out of the problem than to spin around with the problems that are being experienced and not think about how to solve them.

After some time, the butterfly in the cocoon begins to slowly release its wings. But who would have thought that in the process, the butterfly began to experience problems, namely its wings were caught because the gaps in the cocoons were only small?
The man who was watching the butterfly's development began to try to help him. He took action to widen the gap in the village. As a result, the butterfly was able to get out without any problems.
But unexpectedly, a new problem came back to the butterfly. The wings that the butterfly uses have become weak and cannot flap. It turned out that the error occurred when the male began to make a larger gap in the cocoon.
Who would have thought that the process of obstacles experienced by butterflies when removing their wings was one of God's ways of allowing fluid to flow from the body to the wings?
When viewed from the butterfly side, we can also get a moral message that whatever problems or challenges we are facing, we should solve them with personal energy. It's true that sometimes there are people with good intentions who want to help.
Just accept their help without being disappointed, but also remember that you are the one who can solve the problem. The help of others is only a small encouragement that will strengthen your steps.
But still, it all comes back to you. Behind every obstacle, there must be a way out. Of course, every obstacle or problem can also provide learning, experience, and courage.

The first day, he drove 37 nails. However, as time went on, the number of nails he put into the fence began to decrease. Until one day, he managed not to drive a nail into the fence.
The success he had was told to his father. The father began to give orders again to remove all the nails that he had stuck in the fence earlier. Then, when the child had finished his task, he returned to tell his father.
Then his father took him outside to look at the fence and said, "Good boy, you have done your job well." You've managed to control your anger too. But what about the fence? There is still a hole left from the nail. " Ask the father about the son.
Then the father began to give a brief explanation by saying, "This nail hole is like the anger you throw at others." Maybe you managed to apologize to him and won't do it again. But will the wounds they receive be healed quickly? " "Said the father."
From this story, we can learn that words and actions based on anger will only give scars to others. even though they apologize to us when we apologize.
But can we guarantee that the wounds they feel from the words or actions we do out of anger can heal? Maybe not. Not how they give forgiveness to us.
But how do we control our emotions so we don't hurt other people? Maybe the tongue is one part of the body that doesn't kill other people. However, the words that come out of our mouths are sometimes one of the weapons that hurt others without us realizing it.
Therefore, controlling emotions is the key to not hurting those around us. All need stages, but if we try, of course, the results of controlling emotions in ourselves will also be easier to achieve.
That's a short inspirational story. Hopefully it can bring the spirit of life to all of you who read it.
