FROGS

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 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 and read will affect your actions!



Therefore: ALWAYS be....POSITIVE!


And above all: Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams! Always think: God and I can do this!
To our military men, women and families - You are all awesome - that flag is yours and I thank you for the opportunity for giving me the honor of removing my cap prior to every baseball game I see.

I choked up a bit too cry little green "splats" all over the ground surrounding the tower cry


the moral of the story should be "don't blindly follow the crowd",
the leader may be clueless, crazy, or "on something"

it's also obvious that this group was socially disfunctional, with NO family structure

any good frog-mom would have instilled "age old" mom-wisom in her tadpoles
"if everyone else falls off the bridge tower, are you gonna fall off the bridge tower too?"


and ... evidence suggests that certain "performance enhancing bugs" CAN affect hearing

** please note, I am making NO ACCUSATION here
** note II, was the tower frog past his prime when he accomplished this feat? (hmmm Wink)
** note III, my bet is TR & Beenthere will come to the frog's defense

where the heck was PITA Confused
