The Frog Story

Someone at work shared this, and I thought it was very good, so I am sharing it. I was hoping to find something fun to post about today. I will tomorrow...

The Frog Story

There once was a group of tiny frogs who arranged a competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high water tower. A big crowd had gathered to see the race and cheer on the contestants. The race began…

Honestly, no one in the crowd really believed the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard statements such as: “Oh, WAY too difficult??” …and… “They will NEVER make it to the top.” …or… “Not a chance they will succeed. The tower is too high!”

The tiny frogs began collapsing, one by one. Except for those, who with a sudden burst of energy, were climbing higher and higher. The crowd continued to yell, “It’s too difficult!! You won’t make it!” More tiny frogs got tired and gave up…but ONE continued higher and higher and higher. This little frog wouldn’t give up! After a huge effort, he was the only one to reach 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… 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 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! Encourage yourself and others to reach for their goals! And above all: “Never listen to the people who try to drag you down and tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!”
