THE TINY FROG STORY
THE TINY FROG STORY
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 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!
Don't Listen to Everyone
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 cannot fulfill your dreams!
Always think:
God and I can do this!
