Read:
A group of frogs decided to organize a competition.
The objective was to reach the top of a very tall tree.
Several frogs signed up for the challenge.
A crowd of frogs gathered around the tree to watch the contest. And the competition has begun!
Honestly, no one in that crowd really believed that tiny frogs could make it to the top of that huge tree.
They would laugh and discourage them by saying things like:
“Oh, this is impossible!
“They'll never make it to the top.
“They don't stand a chance. The tree is too tall!
“Oh, it's too hard!
And the frogs began to fall. One by one.
Only a few continued to climb higher and higher.
But the crowd continued to shout:
- Is very difficult! Nobody will make it!
"Give up, it's impossible!"
Other frogs got tired and gave up…
But one kept going up and up and up. This one didn't give up!
In the end, after a lot of effort, he was the one to reach the top!
Naturally, all the other frogs wanted to know how he did it.
As he descended, one of the frogs asked the champion how he got the strength to reach the goal.
At this exact moment, the champion frog's parents appear and say:
“He's deaf.
The champion frog was a deaf frog!
Don't listen to pessimists and people with negative thoughts. Do not listen to those who discourage you. Above all, believe in your potential.
