The frogs and the tower



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".

"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.

Dear friends, in our country, society, communities, schools and groups we to have people or the audience who always tries to discourage us by saying we need to follow the tradition. It is out of question to do things with new ideas and ways. There are people who tries to discourage us in venturing into new projects and missions. But remember we need not give up we need to move on to do good with new ideas and ways. At times we may need to be deaf like that tiny frog who managed to climb the tower and became the winner. Remember all the successful people did not tread the same beaten path but they chose to tread the new allies and roads.  Let's not give up our desires and hopes in mere saying of the people's views and comments.
