Frogs and a Positive Attitude
A group of frogs was traveling through the woods, and two of them fell
into a deep pit.
All the other frogs gathered around the pit.
When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they
were as good as dead.
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit
with all of their might.
The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as
dead.
Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were
saying, gave up, fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could.
Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die.
He jumped even harder and finally made it out.
When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?"
The frog said, "No, I'm hard of hearing. I thought you were encouraging me the
entire time."
