"A story of a tiny frog"
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. ...
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."
"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 he had found the strength to succeed and 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.... because 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 speak and read will influence your actions!
Therefore:
ALWAYS be.... POSITIVE!
And above all:
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!
Always have a 'Can-Do' attitude!

Dear SAhruti,
Good story. It is a strength of purpose which drives all of us. The journey continues till such time this strength remains. People give up in the middle not on account of physical incapacity but their attitude.

Truly.... a story to learn.
Belief in urself is surely a must to turn ones dreams into reality.
i remember on reading this story, once a sr. colleague told me about a remote control. let ur remote control not be in hands of others. Others shudnt be switching ur moods off or on. Take charge of situations!
gud one!

I feel it also depends upn the type of dream. In sports, if you dream of becoming a cricketer, one can make a profession out of it if one is good but I am not so sure of the other sports. One has to follow this with discretion and discrimination.
