One day, some tiny frogs arranged a
running competition between them. 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 the
contestants. The race began. No one in the crowd truly believed that the tiny
frogs would reach the top of the tower. Some said, "They will never make
it to the top. They will never succeed. The tower is too high!"
The tiny frogs began collapsing,
one by one, except for a few who kept climbing higher and higher. The crowd
continued to scream, "It's very difficult! No one will make it to the top!".

More tiny frogs got tired, and gave
up, but one continued higher and higher. This one would simple not give up! At
the end, everyone else had given up climbing the tower, except one tiny frog.
After a big effort, he was the only one who reached the top! All the other
frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog
how he found the strength to succeed and reach the goal.
It turned out that the winner was
deaf !! He had thought that the crowd was encouraging him the entire time!
Moral: An encouraging word to
someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day. So
be careful of what you say 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.
