A group of frogs was traveling through the forest, when suddenly
two of them fell into a deep well. The others met
around the hole and, when they saw how deep it was, they said
to the falls that, for practical purposes, should be considered dead. Without
However, they kept trying to get out of the hole with all their strength. The
others told him that these efforts would be useless.
Finally, one of the frogs answered what the others were saying,
for defeated and died.
The other continued to jump with as much effort as
it was possible. The crowd shouted that it was useless but the frog was still
jumping, each time with more force, until finally came out of the hole. The
others asked him "Did not you hear what we told you?" the little frog
she explained that she was deaf, and believed that the others were encouraging her from the
edge to strive more and more to go out of hollow.
The word has the power of life and death. A voice of encouragement to someone
feeling discouraged can help you finish the day, while
that a negative word can end up destroying them. Anyone
can say words that steal from others the spirit that allows them
continue the struggle in the midst of difficult times. Be careful with what
what we say, but above all with what we hear.
