For all you tadpoles out there..
 

Life's lesson No. 1

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 the 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!!!

Always think of the power words have because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!!!

The other frogs were clearly losers who did not know how to take negative energy and turn it positive.

Loser frogs are like loser sheep....They are easy to lead and gather in heards.

Thanks for the words of wisdom...Master Tadpole. :winkwink:

thought it might inspire a few Tadpoles:winkwink:

How's that Dale Carnagie course going for you?

Mostly sheep around here. Some of them have possibilities so hopefully your message will reach them. :glugglug

Honestly it helped me to deal with stress and got me motivated again.

Are you wasted? :Graucho

did somebody say frog?

i have another one involving two mowses.

two mice fell in a pail of milk. they scratched and scratched at the sides of the pail but could not climb out.

one mowse gave up and drowned. the other mowse swam and swam all night. and in the morning, he found himself on top of butter.
