Positive Attitude
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 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 fulfill
YOUR dreams!
Always think:
I can do this!

Nice story and great conclusion. Something we should think upon. Thanks for posting it here. |
Hi Susheel, There is a specific method of posting a debate. I can see that you are new and your description says below 10th std so I think I must tell you how to do it. Title is fine, then you should add a short description of what your topic of... |
Pro or anti.. well it so widely accepted without any thought that I do not know what to do. There will be huge protest if anyone comes ahead to say that this should be changed. We once had a discussion on toostep about a teacher who changed the... |
Hi dear Ravali, Actually only positive attitude will not always fulfill all the dreams. Only positive attitude makes man over confident which is more dangerous for all the beginners and everybody is always a beginner at least one time in the life. Yours story is half truth because one should also count and study the problems that are going to come in his way. Without knowing anything if somebody ignores the risk factors told by the experts (in your story it could be the negative approach) can be the negative attitude. One should also measure his own capabilities before dreaming anything otherwise anybody can dream anything. This story itself says that there were so many frogs tried and failed to climb the tower and only one frog got the success. That means only one frog was capable among so many frogs. Why you are ignoring these failed frog's capabilities and remembering only the frog's deafness who got the success? I don't think that the failed frogs was having negative attitude before starting the race otherwise they won"t participated in that. isn't it? One should only have the right to dream that much success for which he is capable. Remember there is only one Sachin Tendulkar, Only one Amitabh Bachchan and only one Lata mangeshkar. If somebody thinks to climb the towers set by these more or less GODS of their fields, can only the positive attitude is workable?
