Life's
lesson No. 1
There once was
a bunch of tiny frogs,
...who arranged
a running competition.
The goal was to
reach the top of a very high tower.
A big crowd had
gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the
contestants...
The race
began...
Honestly...No
one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the
tower.
You heard
statements such as:
"Oh, WAY too
difficult !!"
"They will
NEVER make it to the top!!"
or:
"Not a chance
that they will succeed. The tower is too high!!"
The tiny frogs
began collapsing. One by one...Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were
climbing higher and higher...
The crowd
continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!!
No one will make
it!!"
More tiny frogs
got tired and gave up...But ONE continued higher and higher and
higher...
This one
wouldn't give up!
At the end
everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who,
after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!
THEN all of the
other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do
it?
A contestant
asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the
goal?
It turned
out...That the winner was DEAF!!!
The wisdom of
this story is:
Never listen to
other people's tendencies to be
negative or
pessimistic...
Because they take
your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you...the ones you have in your
heart!!!
Always think of
the power words have.
Because everything
you hear and read will affect your actions!!!
Therefore:
ALWAYS
be...POSITIVE!!!
And above
all:
Be DEAF when
people
tell YOU
that you can not
fulfill your dreams!!!
