There once was a bunch of tiny frogs who arranged a 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 the 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 the one who succeeded had found the strength to reach the goal?
It turned out,
That the winner was deaf.
Most people succeed because they are determined to.
A lot of people even with mediocre ability achieve tremendous success because they persist in their effort and they don’t know when to quit.
They don’t let criticism bother them in their quest for success.
All the great discoveries in the world,
All the major accomplishments happened because someone turned a deaf ear to, this can’t be done and went on to do it despite the negativity, despite the failures of those around him, despite people calling him crazy.
Don’t quit, turn a deaf ear to the critics, persist, achieve and stay blessed forever.
