The Story of the Tiny Frogs

[candidrachel]

There once was a bunch of tiny frogs that 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 the contestants. The race began. 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 it 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 continuted to yell "It is too difficult, no one will make it". More tiny frogs got tired and gave up climbing the tower. Exept for one tiny frog who after a big effort was the only one who reached the top! All of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how the tiny frog has 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. Always think of the power words have because everthing you hear and read will affect your actions. Therefore always be positive and above all be deaf when people tell you that you cannot fulfil your dreams.
