Here is one version of the story:
The story about the tiny frogs....
There once 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 the one who succeeded had found the strength to 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...
....cause they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you.
Therefore:
ALWAYS be... POSITIVE!
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that YOU can not fulfill YOUR dreams!
Always think:
I can do this!

What should be your reason to succeed in life?
One afternoon, a group of fox saw a rabbit, then the fastest fox said to his group “ Look, do you see that rabbit? He will be my delicious dinner tonight!”
The group said, “Well, let’s see if you can catch the rabbit”.
So the fastest fox run and chase the rabbit…
Couple of hours passed and the fastest fox return to the group while grasping his breath.
The group of fox asked him , “Where is the rabbit? You was not able to catch it?”
The fastest fox replied, “Well, you know…I ran to chase the rabbit so that I can have a delicious dinner, but the rabbit ran for his life!" - retold by: Chris de Guzman
Insight:
For us to really succeed in life, we should have a deeper reason in everything we decide to pursue. Like the rabbit, the fox was not able to catch him even though the fox run faster than him, because the rabbit has a deeper reason which is "he ran for his life!" while the fox only ran just to have a delicious dinner.
