The Brave Frog a Motivational Story

I heard a story from a motivational speaker in Lucknow. An inspiring leadership consultant who teaches people, how to be a leader in life? It is amazing for me to attend his session because it not only gives me the motivation I required but also few stories to write on my blog. Motivation is need of human just as food as it gives the energy to fight the negativity around us. We are born in an environment where the negativity comes naturally and for positivity, we have to work hard a bit more. The motivational pills are required to beat the negativity.

One such pill, I am going to put in front of you. It is about the group of frogs travelling through the forest. These frogs have not known each other but they are just friends to travel to the families living on the corner side of the forest. They are happy hopping around here and there to make their way to home. A frog that is not so careful falls into the deep pit of the forest. He shouts for the help but its voice is not heard by his fellow frogmen. He is now alone in the pit and no one is there to help. One of his friends realised that he has not seen that frog for a long. The friend talks to the leader about this matter. The leader says to march back and finds the missing frog – the travelling companion. They march back and start to hunt in every tree to see the sign of the missing frog. After spending an hour in the hunt they finally reached the destination where the poor frog has fallen and pleaded for help.

The leader asks his friend, “Is he your friend?”The friend replies. “Yes, he is”. The pit too deep to pull the poor frog out; they discuss the matter among selves to make him jump and pop it out of the pit. They show the moves of jumping and encouraged to make it out. Seeing the enthusiasm outside the pit, the poor fellow starts to jump in different moves he has got. It is like the test of all the things and art of jumping he has learnt at the young age. The group standing out of the pit knows it impossible for the poor frog to make it out. They start talking to leave him behind and move on to the way to home. But the poor frog has different intentions. He jumps and jumps until he finally makes to the ground. The frog says thanks to the leader and move on. The group of frogs are shocked to see such miracle. The leader of the group of frog asked the poor frog about how he manages to continue the spirit of going. He says nothing, his friend then replies that he is deaf from the time he born. The leader taps on the head of the poor frog and moves on.

Moral of the story:            

Sometimes word makes a huge difference in the performance. The poor frog did see them encouraging but he did not listen to what they say (because he was hearing-impaired).
