There is great power in the words that we utter. It is believed that words are so powerful that when repeated with emotion, they will bring us that which we are affirming.
The following story demonstrates what can happen when we use words in a discouraging manner, and what can happen when we "turn a deaf ear" to those words that could ruin our dreams or goals.
Two Frogs
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods when 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 their comments and with all their strength they tried to jump up out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop jumping because they were as good as dead and it will be useless better they keep their energy so they can live little longer. But those two frogs keep jumping and trying. All other frogs keep saying that "come on give up its too high for you guys better keep the strength so you both can live little longer". At this moment finally, one of the frog start to listen to them and give up and accept the death while other frog keep jumping. He 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 finally got out, All the other frogs get surprised and asked him why he didn't listen to them?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. The more they shouted the more inspiration he got and keep jumping with his full strength.
