#crabmentality

Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket (also barrel, basket or pot), is a way of thinking best described by the phrase, "if I can't have it, neither can you."The metaphor refers to a bucket of crabs. Individually, the crabs in the story could easily escape from the bucket, but instead they are described as grabbing at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise.The analogy in human behavior is claimed to be that members of a group will attempt to negate or diminish the importance of any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of envy, spite, conspiracy, or competitive feelings, to halt their progress

It is difficult for the crab to get out of the bowl filled with crabs. But the crab whose desire is to get out of that crabby environment must be so strongly determined that no matter how many times the other crabs pull it down, it is going to keep climbing until it gets out. Don't get wearied of having to climb over and again, you are climbing out for more than a generation. When you eventually climb out and get out, without needing to talk too much, your actions will become an inspiration and motivation for all other Crabs who are sick of being stuck in their crabby environment. Keep climbing until you get up and out. -Paul Bamikole #crab #crabmentality #articles #inspirationmonday #motivation #quotes #quotestagram #leadership https://www.instagram.com/p/CIeec_up2ZO/?igshid=lfocpc558alx
