One day, a frog decided to climb a tall tree.
As soon as he started, all the other frogs at the bottom began shouting:
“Stop!”
“It’s too high!”
“You’ll never make it!”
But the little frog kept going.
Higher and higher, step by step, until he reached the top.
Everyone was stunned.
How did he do it?
Turns out...
He was deaf.
He couldn’t hear a word they were saying.
He thought they were cheering for him.
Moral:
Be deaf to negativity when you’re chasing something important.
People will doubt you, discourage you, or project their fears on you.
Don’t let that stop you.
Keep climbing.
Your belief in yourself matters more than their noise.
