The racing frogs

Hot 4608 views. 2015-2-8 19:38 |Individual Classification:Mood| racing

      A group of tiny frogs who held 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 the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.
     "Oh, it's too difficult!" One of the crowd said!
     "They will NEVER make it to the top." Another one said!"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"
       The tiny frogs began falling down, one by one except for those who were climbing higher and higher.
       The crowd continued to shout, "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!
       In the end, everyone else had given up climbing the tower, except for the one tiny frog which, 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 tiny frog managed to do it.
     A contestant asked the frog how he had found the strength to reach the goal. It turned out that the winner was DEAF.

yes, we sometimes think too much others remark to distort our original goal. If the advice is useful that is good, but you should integrate and stick to again and again. The frog teach us different angle to read/consider life.

Yeah, indeed. Once we set up our mind, we just do it. And, never disturb too much by outsiders. We do listen to others' advice, but it depend for us which one we should listen.

Right. Some things see impossible and beyond our capability, but don't underestimate a determined person to reach any target. There are lots of advise all around us and sometimes it is hard to know which ones to listen to.

Think too much maybe a safe and sound way to deal with things, but life itself is full of advantures, consider too much may miss many chance. So a determind is needed to do things, but do not care too many comment, or  will end in doing nothing.

I had listened this fable before and I really touched by this story. It reminds me that we usually play friends circle to know the outside world but to ignore the life of ourselves. From this point, I think that the opinions of other people really affect ourselves. We need to concentrate on the affairs about ourselves like that frog. Sometimes, the outside information is a interference in turn.

When I look at the people who really are successful, they are the people who can endure lonely when they do things.Outsiders opinion accounts not too many, most time, will hind us moving ahead.
