Frog
Once upon a time there was a bunch of baby frogs....
participating in a competition.
The target was to get to the top of a high tower
A crowd of people had gathered to observe the race and encourage the participants
The start shot rang outQuite honestly:
None of the onlookers believed that the baby frogs could actually accomplish getting to the top of the tower
Words like:
"إh, it’s too difficult!!!
They’ll never reach the top."
or:
"Not a chance... the tower is too high!"
One by one some of the baby frogs fell off…
...Except those who fastly climbed higher and higher
The crowd kept on yelling:
"It’s too difficult. Nobody is going to make it!"
More baby frogs became tired and gave up...
...But one kept going higher and higher.....
He was not about giving up!
At the end everybody had given up, except the one determined to reach the top!
All the other participants naturally wanted to know how he had managed to do what none of thm others had been able to do!
One competitor asked thm winner, what was his secret?
The truth was.......
The winner was Deaf..
The lesson to be learned:
Don’t ever listen to people who are negative and pessimistic...
…they will deprive you of your loveliest dreams and wishes you carry in your heart!
Always be aware of the power of words, as everyting you hear and read will interfere with your actions!
Therefore:
Always stay
POSITIVE!
And most of all:
Turn a deaf ear when people tell you, that you cannot achieve your dreams
Always believe:
You can make it!
