Alive and Kicking Phrase/Speak like a Leader/Complete Ramayana in Tweets

 Dear all, 

You might have come across the saying "Abhi to hum Zinda Hain." from the Bollywood movie Welcome.

This reminds us of the idiom "Alive and Kicking."

"Alive and kicking" is an idiom that means someone or something is not only alive but also active and healthy. It emphasizes their vigor and continued existence.

There's an interesting story regarding the origin of this phrase or idiom.

Once, a frog stumbled upon a pail of milk. Frantically, it kicked its legs to stay afloat in the milk. It wasn't able to get out of the pail. But the frog didn't lose hope. It continued kicking to stay afloat.

Because of this repeated kicking, the milk began to churn. Slowly but surely, the milk transformed, thickening into creamy butter. The frog's relentless kicking had unwittingly turned the milk into butter, providing it with a buoyant surface to stand upon.

With a triumphant leap, it propelled itself out of the pail, landing safely on solid ground.

So, the phrase came.

**Three Quotes and Phrases I Liked** 

 

"I think a life properly lived is just learn, learn, learn all the time."— Charlie Munger

"Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Systematically you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. Nevertheless, you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve."— Charlie Munger

"It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent."— Charlie Munger
