A deaf frog - A short story!
Once a young frog wanted to climb out of the well. It told it's grand idea to all and being young and enthusiastic started working on its desire. But being old and wise all other frogs started giving advice and kept saying 'You can't, you can't as no one has'. The young frog was born deaf and looking at all of them talking at a time presumed them to be cheering for it and with more vigour and belief started the climb and reached the top. This no frog who was normal could achieve till date and yet the deaf frog could. It was joyous and all the old wise frogs couldn't understand how it did it!
What did you learn from this story?
Who are these old wise frogs in your life?
If you want to achieve something does that mean you should have been born deaf?
Why could no other frog climb the well before 'the young deaf frog'?
Where do you think we can apply it in our lives?

Greetings Revathi Mam,
I would infer the following from this frog story :
1) We should not assume our goal to be difficult or impossible only based on discussions or theory but work hard / clever to achieve the same
2) Old frogs (if at all in our lives) are our weakness , negative thoughts , fear , depression, lack of self confidence etc..
3) No, Not literally, You can listen to others advice's always so that you know about the same thing from different perspective , you need to analyze and contemplate on it, learn from the mistakes what others did and avoid them to achieve your goal.
4)Because since start they mentally were convinced that they could not do it and hence they might have not planned better or they did not even try!
5) We can apply it in every field of our lives
Personal, Professional , Family, Relations, Spiritual etc..
Have meaningful and calculated goals and achieve them :)
