Once upon a time a competition was held among some frogs. \u00a0The frogs had to climb a tall pillar. Many other animals gathered to watch the competition.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some animals said- \u00a0\u201cThis pillar is too tall for the tiny frogs to climb.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some other animals observed-\u00a0\u201cThis pillar is very slippery and the frogs cannot climb it.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many frogs heard these comments and spoke among themselves- \u201cWe cannot climb this pillar, it would be a wasted effort.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But one tiny frog struggled hard to climb the pillar and slowly made it to the top.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When it climbed down, the surprised animals asked the frog- \u201cHow did you climb the pillar?”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The tiny frog was deaf. \u00a0It could not hear the comments of other animals and it focused only on reaching its goal.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This story conveys two message one \u00a0to the society and one to the individual.
\nFor the society: \u00a0‘Do not discourage others.’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For \u00a0individuals: ‘Do not listen to discouraging words from others, keep striving to reach your goal.’<\/p>\n
