The story of the knife fish and the eel
That day off work, the Shen Liang of the mood is depressed and returns home, a resignation report falls angrily on the tea table.
His wife came over from the kitchen and was surprised to see Shen Liang's resignation report. Want to know, smart and capable Shen Liang, in the company, has been deeply respected by the boss, raise, promotion, Shen Liang walk smoothly, but where the company has what planning activities or major decision-making matters, Shen Liang's opinion, most of the time plays a decisive role. However, by such treatment of Shen Liang, how can suddenly think of resigning?
Original, by the boss all the more highly regarded Shen Liang, live in a kind of calm state for long, little worry consciousness gradually, treat the job, begin to slack off and perfunctory. During, the company is a small bill, Shen Liang is not done 3 times, making the boss greatly unhappy. After that, appear one after another small careless omissions, by the boss all closed in the fundus.
That day, the boss came to Shen Liang and told him that the company had recruited a new deputy for him to help deal with the work.
Shen Liang has not yet figured out what is going on, the new deputy has been in office. Contact after some time, Shen Liang discovers this newly arrived deputy is by no means an equal generation, besides hard and serious on the job, expand business also is first-class one good hand.
Just a few days ago, Shen Liang failed to win the business that he had negotiated three times in a row. However, this newly arrived, unsurprising new person single-handedly handled the business and therefore won numerous awards from the boss. Looking at the new deputy of the appearance, Shen Liang in the heart by a blow, he feels that this new deputy, is simply a stone on the bottom of the feet, blocking their way forward. After careful consideration, Shen Liang decided that since the boss alienated himself and believed in others, he had better resign and leave.
Hearing Shen Liang's story, his wife glared at him and said, "Oh, you! That's a little something to make you give up? Lieutenants are there to motivate you, not to get you out."
The wife said, "Let me tell you a little story. At the seaside of Japan, there is a group of fishing people, to survive, they often take a small boat, to the sea to catch fresh fish back to sell. Among them is eel, which is highly nutritious and popular among local diners. But eels grow in deep water, and if they are caught and put in the ship's hold, they often die in the small hold before they can reach the shore. For this reason, many fishermen deeply regret it. You know, a fresh eel sells for several times more than a dead eel. But one fisherman, every time he came home from sea, the eels in his cabin were still alive and fresh. Many people are puzzled by this phenomenon. After several inquiries, the fisherman revealed the secret to everyone. It turned out that every time he returned to the sea, he would put several knife fish in the tank containing the eels. Because the knife fish were fierce and aggressive, the eels had to fight with the knife fish in the narrow tank to avoid the knifefish's bite and chase. In this way, the vitality of the eel was greatly stimulated in the strong competition with the knife fish, and therefore, the eel survived."
The wife added: "This is like your present situation, in the calm people tend to become depressed and lack of morale, if there is a rival, will stimulate the side of morale, in the challenge of constantly improving and improve themselves, so that they become stronger. Isn't that a blessing?"
His wife's words enlightened him, and make Shen Liang woke up. Yes, if it is not for the arrival of this deputy, I will continue in the og, so long, even if I do not want to leave, I will be kicked out one day.
After that, Shen Liang not only got rid of the bad habits that once harmed him like a virus but also learned something he was missing from the new deputy with an open mind. In the challenge, they chased each other and grew up together. The tacit understanding of two people cooperating, makes the business of the company expands again and presents a thriving scene.
At a company award banquet, Shen Liang shared the story about the knife fish and eel. And he said, in the way of our life, will run into the existence of the saury, countless times we have to do, is not to escape or doing nothing, but to accept it, and to keep it up, in strong to coexist with the challenge, from his long, achievement a more powerful, so, life is full of hope and success.

“He Kept Going When No One Was Watching — And That Changed Everything”
No one ever noticed the days he almost gave up. There were no messages asking if he was okay. No one wondered why he became quieter. No one asked how much effort it took just to keep going. To the world, he was just another ordinary man. His name was Ayaan. Ayaan’s life didn’t collapse in one dramatic moment. It slowly faded. Missed opportunities. Rejected ideas. Silent disappointments. Every failure was small, but together they became heavy. He had dreams once. Big ones. Dreams that kept him awake at night, imagining a future where his hard work would finally matter. But over time, those dreams began to feel unrealistic—almost embarrassing. People around him seemed to move forward effortlessly. They celebrated promotions, achievements, and milestones. Ayaan watched from the side, smiling politely while feeling invisible. At work, his efforts were ignored. Among friends, his voice faded. At home, expectations weighed heavily on him. Slowly, a dangerous thought settled into his mind: “Maybe I’m not good enough.” That thought followed him everywhere. It followed him on crowded buses. It followed him into sleepless nights. It followed him every time he tried again and failed. One night, after scrolling through endless success stories online, Ayaan closed his phone and stared at the dark ceiling. His chest felt tight, not because of pain—but because of exhaustion. He whispered quietly, “How long do I keep trying?” There was no answer. But that night, Ayaan made a decision—not a loud one, not a confident one. A tired decision. He decided to keep going, even if nothing changed. The next morning felt the same. The same routine. The same doubts. The same fear of wasting his life. But Ayaan showed up anyway. He worked when no one praised him. He studied when no one guided him. He practiced when no one believed in him. Some days, motivation disappeared completely. On those days, discipline took over. He reminded himself: “I don’t need applause. I need progress.” Weeks passed. Nothing dramatic happened. No sudden success. No recognition. No miracle. But something subtle began to shift. Ayaan became calmer under pressure. He learned to sit with discomfort instead of running from it. He stopped comparing his journey to others. The silence that once scared him now became his training ground. Months later, a serious problem appeared at his workplace. It was complicated, risky, and easy to blame on someone else. Most people avoided it. Some pretended it wasn’t their responsibility. Ayaan didn’t announce himself. He didn’t seek attention. He simply started working. Late nights. Mistakes. Corrections. Learning. There were moments he wanted to quit. Moments when fear whispered, “You’re not ready.” But he answered back, “I’ll learn.” Slowly, the problem began to disappear. Not perfectly—but steadily. People noticed, quietly. One afternoon, his manager called him into the office. Ayaan expected criticism. Instead, he heard a question that stunned him: “Where did you learn all this?” Ayaan paused. How could he explain years of silent effort? How could he explain working when no one cared? He simply replied, “I kept going.” That moment didn’t change his life overnight. He didn’t become famous. He didn’t suddenly become successful. But it changed something far more important. His belief in himself. For the first time, Ayaan understood that life doesn’t always reward effort immediately. Sometimes, it watches. It watches who continues without praise. Who improves without recognition. Who grows in silence. Years later, Ayaan looked back at the version of himself who almost quit. The man who felt invisible. The man who thought no one was watching. And he smiled. Because he finally understood the truth: Life was always watching. Not to judge. Not to rush. But to see if he would keep going when it was hardest. The world doesn’t reward those who only work when they’re seen. It rewards those who build strength in silence. And sometimes, the moment that changes everything doesn’t come with applause. It comes quietly. After patience. After effort. After consistency. That is when everything finally begins to change. Final Message Keep going—even when no one is watching. Especially then.
