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 to 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."
"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, however, continued to yell,
"It
is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"
More
tiny frogs got tired and gave up ...
But
ONE of them 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 another tiny frog
how the one who succeeded had found
the strength to 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 can take your most wonderful dreams and wishes
away from you ... the ones you have in your heart!
Always
think of the power that words have,
because everything you hear and read will affect your
actions!
Therefore:
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that
YOU can not fulfill YOUR dreams!
And
always keep thinking: I CAN DO THIS!
