Top of Tower

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.' 
Or:
'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 that 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!!

  • Some times we must hear carefully because opportunity may knock quietly.

    • Yes of course that we don’t need our ears in this silent land (as you said) at all.

      But that story was about frogs who will accept everything that they are hearing. Humans can choose the best way for their success by reading (eyes) and hearing (ears) these stories. So, you can see that we need our ears.

    • I mean Others are free to say everything they would like and those are sounds which should pass through a scan inside of our minds and hearts.

      It is not important what others are saying . It is important what you are interpreting them.

    • Thank you Darius. That's right.
