A Very Froggy Story
I must thank my niece, Sarah-Jane for this tale.
These types of emails circulate endlessly around the internet, and readers will almost certainly have seen something similar hit their inbox at one time or other. Anyway, I thought this was better than the average of its type, and decided to add it here. Now you don't have to circulate it amongst your friends -- just point them towards this page, and they can read it here. Just think of the bandwidth you can save.
A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants.
To be honest, when race began, no one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.
You could hear statements such as: "Oh, that's way too difficult!" Or, "They will never make it to the top." Or, "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"
Sure enough, soon, one by one, the tiny frogs began collapsing.
Except for the remaining frogs who continued to climb higher and higher.
The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!" and' "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!
Of course, all of the other frogs wanted to know how this one frog managed to get to the top.
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 moral 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 -- the ones you have in your heart -- away from you. 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.
Oh, and if you fall down 10 times, stand up 11.

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.
To be honest, when race began, no one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.
You could hear statements such as: "Oh, that's way too difficult!" Or, "They will never make it to the top." Or, "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"
