In life, sometimes we do not find success in our lives, by hearing the negative words of people who have never had anything, or that they started a project and could never finish it, or due to lack of motivation or persistence. Today I want to tell you a fable that my father told me when I was little, he explained the moral of him.
Let's be like the deaf and persistent frog
This was a group of small frogs going through a forest together. But suddenly, two of them fell into a very deep hole. The rest of the frogs leaned out to look at her, circling the hole.
They quickly realized that the hole was very deep. Her companions jumped and jumped, but they could not reach the shore.
The frogs began to whisper to each other. They all considered the two frogs dead, since they could not see possible that they could jump so high as to get out of the hole. So they started yelling at the frogs that they couldn't do anything, that they couldn't get out of there.
Give it up, you won't get it! - the frogs shouted from the shore.
But the two frogs kept jumping without stopping, ignoring the screams of their companions, who kept telling them that they were going to die anyway despite their efforts.
Don't try it anymore! - the frogs shouted - You won't get it!
The frogs came to insinuate to their two companions not to waste any more strength, to allow themselves to die. And they screamed so much that in the end one of the two frogs that jumped non-stop gave up and decided to stop. She just dropped to the ground, and died.
However, the other frog continued to jump, despite exhaustion. Higher and higher, stronger and stronger. And the other companions screamed much louder so that he would stop jumping.Stop suffering now! - They yelled at him over and over again.
And the frog jumped more and more. Until suddenly, he managed to get out of the hole. She thought that her companions were cheering him on all the time, noticing the gestures they made. And she thanked them with all her heart for having offered him all of her encouragement.
In reality, the frog was deaf and it was impossible for him to hear the screams of the others.

Conclusion
In life many times this situation can occur that when we let ourselves be carried away by negative words we never find anything, we come to think like the frog that gave up. That although it was her life in which she was at stake, she preferred to let herself be carried away by her friends who said that she could not go to the end. While the frog, as she was deaf, listened to us the comments of her friends, she persisted until she left the hole.
Negative words can be a sharp knife that can cut our goals before starting any projects in our lives. And if we don't persist in our dreams, we can die trying.
