FROGS
Once upon a time there 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 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!
Therefore:
ALWAYS be....
POSITIVE!
And above all:
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill
your dreams!
Always think:
God and I can do this!
Pass this message on to 5 "tiny frogs" you care about.
Give them some motivation!!!
Most people walk in and out of your life......but FRIENDS
Leave footprints in your heart

ALONE:
From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view
