The Frog Story

I just heard s story about a group of frogs who live in Paris. This is a very nice story and I love it for there is a very important meaning behind it. The story goes like this:

One night during a frogs gathering, the frogs decided to do something different from usual. They then decide that they should select a group leader among themselves. But what is the challenge to prove the one suitable for the post?

Since Eiffel Tower was brightly litted at the back, one frog suggested to climb the tower for the view at the top is beautiful. The condition was, the first frog who reaches the top would be elected as the leader. All the frogs were excited and wanted to hold the leadership post. At the blow of the wiesel and all equiped with a parachutte, they started climbing.

After a few floors, the whole group of frogs stop and rest. One frog, frog A spoke up, "This is tiring. I think my stamina is very low due to lack of exercising." Another frog, frog B just nodded in agreement. The same frog then spoke, "How are we to reach the top? This is ridiculous. I think it would be smarter to go down and wait and see who is the stupid one who would be crazy to reach the top." Upon hearing this, a few frogs followed the first frog and climb down to wait.

After the break, the remaining frogs continue their climb. After a few floors, they stop to rest again. This time another frog, frog C spoke up, "This is tiring. This is impossible. Who would be able to climb to the top? I should have listen earlier and climb down." Upon hearing this, a few frogs followed frog C to give up and climb down to wait.

This process continued till there was one frog, frog D left who succeed to climb to the top. When frog D was at the top, it witness the most beautiful view ever seen in Paris. After admiring the beautiful scenary, it jump down with it's parachutte. When it reaches the ground, everyone asked, "How did you do it? What did you eat that makes you strong? What make you continue climbing?"

Frog D just look at them. What do you think it answered?

Frog D didn't say a word for it was deaf and dumb.

What is the moral of this story?
Whatever we do, there is always someone demoralizing us. If we do not listen to them when we have set a goal, we can achieve it. Life is simple but we are the one who make it complicated. The most important is believe in ourselves and believe in what we believe strongly in. It maybe hard but nothing comes easy in life.

As a saying, "Life is Good but Good Life is Expensive." How are we to enjoy our life? For me is work hard and you can achieve it and not just sit and hope you have an easy life and also enjoy. Just like another saying, "Nothing comes free in this world."
