The history of the baby 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 out…….
Quite honestly:
None of the onlookers believed that the baby frogs could actually accomplish
getting to the top of the tower.
Words like:
“Åh, 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 the others had been able to do!
One competitor asked the 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 everything 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!
hyea, I don’t know you, you don’t me that’s two unknown people knowing each other.
Anyway I read you articles found it quiet interesting so .I say.normally I don’t…..read my blog………www.divinesoul.wordpress.com
