Power of words

 Once upon a time there was a bunch of baby frogs....… participating in a competition.

The target was to get to the top of a high tower.

A crowd of people had gathered to observe the race and encourage the participants.....

The start shot rang out....... 

Quite honestly:

None of the onlookers believed that the baby frogs could actually accomplish getting to the top of the tower.

Words like:

"Åh, it’s too difficult!!!

They’ll never reach the top."

or:

"Not a chance... the tower is too high!"

One by one some of the baby frogs fell off…...Except those who fastly climbed higher and higher.. 

The crowd kept on yelling:

"It’s too difficult. Nobody is going to make it!"

More baby frogs became tired and gave up... 

...But one kept going higher and higher.....

He was not about giving up!

At the end everybody had given up, except the one determined to reach the top!

All the other participants naturally wanted to know how he had managed to do what none of the others had been able to do!

One competitor asked the winner, what was his secret?

The truth was.......

The winner was deaf!!!! 

The lesson to be learned:

Don’t ever listen to people who are negative and pessimistic...

…they will deprive you of your loveliest dreams and wishes you carry in your heart!

Always be aware of the power of words, as everything you hear and read will interfere with your actions!

Therefore:

Always stay…

POSITIVE!

And most of all:

Turn a deaf ear when people tell you,  that you cannot achieve your dreams!

Always believe:

You can make it!

Everything is a state of mind.

Finally, what do we take with us when we leave planet earth?”

Don't blow the whistle yourself.

 I watched a local football match in a school playing ground.

As I sat down, I asked one of the boys what the score was.

With a smile, he replied; they are leading us 3-0.

And I said, REALLY.

I have to say you don't look discouraged.

"Discouraged" the boy asked with a puzzled look.

Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle.

I have confidence in the team and the managers; we shall definitely overcome.

Truly, the match ended 5-4 in favor of the boy's team.

He waved at me gently, with a beautiful smile as he left; I was amazed, mouth wide open; Such confidence; Such beautiful faith.

As I got back home that night, his question kept coming back to me - .....

Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle.

Life is like a game....

Why be discouraged, when there is still life.

Why be discouraged when your final whistle has not sounded.

The truth is that many people blow the final whistle themselves....

But as long as there is life, nothing is impossible and it is never too late for you.

Half time is not full time.

Don't blow the whistle yourself.
