I'd like to share this story that relates to your meme... I think it is true in all things

"Once upon a time, two little frogs fell into a vat of cream. They
knew they were going to drown for it was impossible to swim or
float for very long. For a while, the two frogs kicked around in the
cream, but it was useless; they only managed to sink down deeper.
Then one of the frogs said: “I can’t take it anymore. It’s impossible
to get out of here. I can’t swim in this stuff. And, as I’m going to
die, I don’t see the sense in fighting so much.” Having said this, he
stopped kicking and drowned, quickly swallowed up by the cream
The other frog, who was more persistent, or perhaps more stubborn,
said: “It’s impossible! I can’t do anything to get out of this.
Nevertheless, although death is near, I’d rather fight until my last
breath than give up.” So, he carried on kicking and splashing for
hours and hours, but didn’t move one centimeter from the spot at
which he started. Then suddenly, after kicking, beating, and stirring
for so long, the cream turned into butter.
Surprised, he hopped to the edge of the vat, jumped out, and
went home, croaking happily."
