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!

liked your article and look forward for more on it. To add taste to your feeling, if you replace each word with say 1 for A, 2 for B like this when you add all the numerals corresponding to the word attitude you get full 100 out of the total. Another word which comes equal to attitude is 'discipline' which also gives a score of 100. Just imagine the people who coined these two words.Can u search for more such words?

Ravali great story with lot of morale.Attitude is the main behaviourial element of our nature which makes the life perfect.Wealth,luck,love,hardwork,perseverence bla...bla.. nothing makes your life perfect.It is justyour attitude towards life which matters.
ATTITUDE = A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 =100
This is the only behaviourial entity which makes your life 100%

YPUR ATTITUDE IS THE BEHAVIOURAL ELEMENT WHICH MAKES YOU PERFECT IN LIFE. wat matters in life is not luck,wealth,hardwork,love or happiness but only thing which matters is your attitude towards life. 
ATTITUDE = A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100
WAT MATTERS IS YOUR ATTITUDE IN LIFE.

Thanks for the referral Ms Ravali. Indeed if we have negative thinking of some project just at the start it is bound to backfire.
One should always have a Positive attitude ,and not only HOPE but should be confident that everything will be OK.

ravali,
good story but don't make the tiny frog 'DEAF"may be you say adamant,headstrong,paranoid, Psyche.
further you may bring in an attitude as impossible is nothing,
further the smaller the frog that means lowest possible loss e.g like Mr.Ratan Tata failing in his venture is more concern than a small guy losing.
greatest thing in here is the will to fight in-spite of size.
this can go along i suppose is GOD HELPS THOSE WHO BRAVE AND JUST DO IT

YOUR EXPERIMENT IS ALSO GOOD ONE AND TRY GOING FORWARD.

Dream, Desire, Develop will power and determination and perseverance are behind any individual or society to get what one wants.

Power of positive thinking plays an important role here in your journey to get what you want and moving on. 

Against adversity, you have nothing to lose but fight on. It is always thinking it is not worse than this, that matters.

Effort only is in your hands and the result is an outcome of how others out side you react to what you do and you have to take what ever it comes and keep putting in your effort, may be differently until you reach your goal.

Good story Ravali. Criticism apart, I think positive attitude coupled with an open mind will work out better in any situation. Otherwise it will be like "I know what you wanted to tell me, I know you are working for such-and-such company, I know your product, I have heard about your product" and closing it "okay, you wanted to tell something to me ?"

Ravali,
I don't know where and who referred the article  to me or maybe you did directly.
With all the praise and accolades you have received I sincerely hope you keep reckoning yourself to this article in your own sphere of work and personal life.
Also, articles like these are Dime a dozen....Its the testimonial of who got inspired and how he went about achieving the goal aftermath the inspiration.
So,I wld like all those congratulating you to actually tell me or themselves what they have actually got inspired by???????
And What has changed aftermath ????/
What are they doing Next thats different to yesterday??
How is it inspirational for others.
Reading is one ........encaptulaing is another.......relating is another thing....but actually executing it in your pre-determined set of ideas /rules/standards which dogmatically governs our daily lives is completely a different Ball game.
Has anybody have their inspirational story..
Come on Board.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Otherwise this just another classroom reminder

 Thanks,Ravali for sharing a thoughtful insight where one climbs the top and remaining at the bottom.Ultimately, perseverance wins.Positive attitude apart, it is the story of a success by determination,ambition,come what may.

Positive attitude is one of the ingredients for success though not the only component for the same. positive attitude must be coupled with knowledge, respect and self respect and various other ingredients as well. We must take Japanese or Chinese for example to understand this better. Though not all, most of the people in China have these with them right from the younger stages of life from which they derive strength. Many Japnese firms are where they are because of such factors that their management follows and inculcates  in the next comers.
Thank you.

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?

Really, it gives a useful thought to ponder. Not only to ponder but also, to exercise in personal life.Even if god fails to give, never your effort will. It is your effort that achieves success, as the deaf frog.

Thanks a ton. Simple facts remain a boost to accomplish herculian task. Let me tell you an inference that I could draw :

The frog that reached the top had a vision that is different from that of the frog clans.. it could see a different world of colours which is negated to its clans as they gave up. A change in thought as well as an enduring attempt to see the end has made the winner unique. The clans of the frog will always look-upon the winner to give them advice as it had achieved the un-attainable. Its a lesson that the world for 'one' will remain as 'one' aspires it to be, according to the levels of sincereity, dedication and steadfast 'will' expressed!!
