Food to boost our mentality - Reasons why one cannot climb up the ladder of success
Let me explain the above topic by using a few stories that I will be sharing with you all
I used to use stories to start off just any training course. It will make everybody more relaxed and cheerful and a merrier place to learn new things. Here are 5 short stories. Read them all and ask yourself which is your situation that slows down your achievements.
Story 1
One day, all the frogs from the village were gathered to join in a competition, that was to climb up a tall tower. An attractive prize would be given to the first frog who accomplished the task. Soon all the frogs were gathered together. The first one who climbed up to the top of the tower will be rewarded a gold medal.
Soon a whistle started off the competiton with all the frogs, each hastily climbing up, jumping to compete with each other to see who would do the best job. Soon, some were tired, some have lost their courage, some lost their determination. Some were too tired. Many stopped on their tracks and gave up, it wasn't an easy task!
There were still some frogs who continued climbing, but only one managed to reach the top of the tower. Most of them gave up half way. The winner of the race was proudly given the prize, a golden medal of achievement. Just then, a reporter interviewed the winner. It was found out that the frog who won the prize was 'deaf'. It was deaf to all negatives remarks and couldn't hear any complains. It didn't heed any other's failure, but was focused only towards achieving his goals.
Motive of story. When one is moving towards his goals, one would surely meet people who like to pull his legs. In many cases, there will be people who will step and kick us down. We MUSTmove on regardless of what others might say or suggest. Just keep a deaf ear to negative remarks. If we stop to heed them, we will also give up half way, so just move on....
"Let the dogs bark, the caravan moves on... don't stop, else you will be bitten by them."
Story 2
In a remote town, lived 2 frogs who were great friends. They were living happily at their town and were quite contented and happy with what they had. One day, they heard that the other town over the hills was huge and wealthy. They heard that the other town, a new world was full of fun and excitement. So, they decided to go out to seek their fortune in this promising great and large town over the hills.
Soon, they packed and travelled up the hill, they were excited and happy and were singing along. Soon, they came to the top of the hill. One suggested that they should have a peep to see how the other town would look like. So they clutched their forelegs, holding tight to each other and stood as high as possible as to have a glance at the other town.
What did they see? The first frog was surprised to see that the other town was the same as theirs. The second frog also verified the fact that it was the same as their town too. They were looking forward to the new town. But what they saw was their own town. Why?
Well, these frogs...they have their eyes tilted more towards the back of their head. When they stood up, their heads are tilted and what they saw was actually their own town.
Message of this story. Learn from appropriate and reliable sources, our successes cannot depend on mere rumours or empty promises. One might laugh at those silly frogs, but sometimes we are also in their steps.
