Monkey and Lion Story

Once upon a time, there was a dispute between a lion and a monkey and the topic of debate was "Intelligence is Superior to Strength".

According to the lion, strength was superior but the monkey said that intelligence was superior. Both had their arguments and were trying to prove themselves right.

Monkey said, "Intelligence is best. With intelligence, you can do any work and solve every problem, no matter how difficult it is."

Hearing the monkey's argument, the lion got angry and said, "Silence. Nothing can stand in front of strength. I am strong and if I want, I can use my strength this very moment to take your life."

Even after listening to this, the monkey remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, I am going now. But I still believe that intelligence is superior to strength. One day I will prove it to you."

Many days passed since this. The monkey and lion didn't even come face to face.

One day, while returning to his cave, The lion fell into a pit covered with leaves and hurt his leg. He somehow came out of the pit but found himself standing in front of a hunter pointing the gun at him.

Lion was injured and in that state, he was not able to run.

Just then, stones started raining on the hunter from somewhere. Hunter was shocked and before he could understand anything, a stone hit his head. Hunter shivered with pain and ran away to save his life.

The lion was also surprised to see this and started looking around.

Just then, he saw a monkey sitting on the tree. Monkey looked at the lion and said, "What happened to your strength? Despite being so strong, your life was at stake."

Lion asked, "Why are you here?"

Monkey replied, "For many days, I had kept an eye on that hunter. One day I saw him digging a pit near your cave and understood that he was trying to hunt you. That's why I thought of an idea and collected a lot of stones on this tree so that if needed, I can use them against the hunter."

Lion understood that the monkey's intelligence saved his life.

He thanked the monkey for saving his life and said "Today you have proved that intelligence is superior to strength. I have realized my mistake. I have understood that strength does not remain the same at all times and in all circumstances but intelligence remains with us at all times and in all circumstances."

Monkey replied, I am glad you understood this. From today's incident, you can see that "The hunter was less in strength than you but despite this, he got control over you with his intelligence. Similarly, I was less in strength than the hunter but using intelligence, I scared him away." That's why everyone says that intelligence is far superior to strength.

Flash :- In a positive office environment, employees bring a diverse range of skills and approaches to completing tasks. While some individuals may rely on their strengths and power to accomplish their assignments, others harness their intelligence to achieve tasks more efficiently and effectively. These intelligent employees possess the ability to analyze situations, think critically, and find innovative solutions, allowing them to accomplish tasks with greater ease and speed than those relying solely on physical strength. This balanced mix of strengths and intelligence within the organization not only fosters a collaborative atmosphere but also promotes a culture of continuous improvement.

Moral :- While physical strength may have its advantages, it is not always sufficient to overcome challenges or ensure survival. Intelligence, on the other hand, enables individuals to think, plan, and find creative solutions to problems, even in situations where physical strength is not enough. The story highlights the importance of intelligence as a valuable asset that can be relied upon in various circumstances, emphasizing that intelligence remains with us consistently, unlike physical strength, which can diminish or be ineffective in certain situations.

"Strength brings power, Intelligence brings success."
