The Crab Effect – Gather some crabs in a container, basket or bucket and don’t put the lid.
Leave the crabs in the open container and go anywhere you would, not even one of them would escape!
Repeat the same thing with snails. In the nearest minutes, the snails would begin to disperse from the container.
Why?
The crabs were immobile? The snails were faster than the crabs? No!
The crabs below would clip the ones on top and each would do the same thing to one another. They would totally lock themselves up!

Crabs are naturally faster than snails in terms of mobility but the snails would move out of the container and escape!
The crab have a mentality of “if I don’t get it, neither will you.” That’s the bedrock of bitterness. That holds them down!
Your natural endowment to soar high and escape the pull of mediocrity may be thwarted when you attach yourself to people with crab mindset!
They would not improve and will never allow you to progress an inch. Discern them early and cut every form of communication with them. Inform them of any step after you have taken it. Be selfish here.
Paul of Tarsus was speaking the other day saying, “evil communications (company) corrupt good manners.” Never find yourself being packed in the same container with crabs, they would render you stagnant.
How do you discern them?
The Crab Effect – They appear as friends. They are quite subtle, so you need to upgrade the frequency of your antenna.
They feel uncomfortable seeing new things around you and would always talk down your achievements.
They will show sympathy when you loose anything but will not identify with you when you are being congratulated.
They will jokingly tell you that your dreams are too high. Mind you, thoughts are revealed by jokes. They will try changing the subject of discussion when you are sharing important ideas.
They will try to connive with your foes to paint your brand with a different colour. Watch out, they are character assassinators.
Wisdom is still profitable to direct. Get wisdom!
