The story about the tiny frogs….

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 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...

…cause, they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you. The ones you have in your heart!


Always think of the power which 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 can not fulfil YOUR dreams!

Always think:
I can do this!

Pass this message on to 5 “tiny frogs” you care about.
Give them some motivation!!!


Thanks..........

I Wanted To Change The World

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.

I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.

When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world."
