Dear FRIENDS,
A group of frogs was traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
This story teaches two lessons:
1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.
2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.
Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words... it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.

Nice one Daniel,
When I saw the heading, I felt like a pastor giving his Sunday mass preaching. But the message that you have conveyed here is absolutely true. You basically utter things in line with what you are thinking or believe in.
Whatever you say has a significant impact on the things that would happen to you. I would like to get into the spiritual part to emphasize this section. I had read in Joyce Meyer's book that when we are about to do something challenging, Satan puts all negative thoughts in your mind. If we believe, this impedes the successful completion of the work. In hindsight, the best thing is to trust God, believe in yourself, and go ahead with the challenging role.
If we have positive thoughts, that is when we will utter positive things; otherwise, the opposite will happen.
I feel supporting employees, communicating every decision of yours, taking their consent in decision-making, and explaining the reason for a particular decision being taken goes a long way in building trust among employees. It also enables the organization to drive change faster.

Dear Daniel,
It's very true because people around you always try to demotivate you, but you should go on and nothing can stop you if you are positive in your outlook. Like after every sunset, the sun does rise, so are the difficulties and good tidings two sides of the same coin. So a person should not stop striving because the day he feels that he has failed...that's the day he fails to exist.
Looking forward to more motivating articles.
