Turtle story, motivation
- 1. By anonymous The story about the tiny turtles…. Life’s number 1 lesson
- 2. There once was a bunch of tiny turtles... … who arranged a running competition.
- 3. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants...
- 5. NO ONE in the crowd really believed that the tiny turtles would reach the top of the tower. You could hear statements such as: "Oh, WAY too difficult!!” “They will NEVER make it to the top" and "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!" The tiny turtles began collapsing. One by one...
- 6. ... except for those who, with a final burst of energy, were climbing higher and higher... The crowd continued to yell "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!" More tiny turtles got tired and gave up...
- 7. ...But ONE continued higher and higher and higher... This ONE wouldn’t give up!
- 8. At the end, everyone else had given up climbing the tower, EXCEPT for the one tiny turtle who after a big effort was the only one who reached the top! THEN all of the other tiny turtles naturally wanted to know how this one turtle managed to do it?
- 9. A contestant asked a tiny turtle how the one who had succeeded, had found the strength to reach the goal
- 10. It turned out... That the winner was DEAF!!!!
- 11. The wisdom of this story is: NEVER listen to other people’s inclinations to be negative or pessimistic... because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you – the ones you have in your heart! Always think of the power words have, because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!
- 13. And above all: Be DEAF when people tell you that YOU cannot fulfill YOUR dreams! Always know and say: I CAN do this!
