| The story about the tiny frogs….
There once was a bunch of tiny frogs,...
- who arranged a running competition.
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
The race began….
No one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.
You heard statements such as:
"Oh, WAY too difficult!! They will NEVER make it to the top.”
Or:
"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!”
The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one..
Except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher….
The crowd continued to yell
"It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up...
...But ONE continued
higher and higher and higher...
This one wouldn’t give Up!
At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who after a big effort was the only one who reached the top!
THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog how the one who succeeded had found the strength to reach the goal?
It turned out….,…..
That the winner was DEAF!!!!!!!!!!!!
The wisdom of this story is
"Never listen to other people’s tendencies to be negative or pessimistic...
…cause 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 action
Therefore:
ALWAYS be… POSITIVE!
And above all
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that YOU can not
fulfil YOUR dreams!
THAT’S THE WAY LIFE IS......................

They have become immortal lovers because they have shown to the world how lovers live to each other! It is said that true love makes the two into one and one forgets the self in presence of the lover since the love has such an impact on the lovers!that they forget the external environment around if they are true lovers,and each feels that he/she belongs to his/her beloved and all that is his/her belongs to the beloved!

We all know that Romeo and Juliet are great lovers. The story goes like this...
One fine morning Juliet wanted to know how much Romeo loves her.She sent to him her servant with a vessel and a dagger asking him to give some of his flesh and blood to feed her dog. Romeo to please her filled the vessel with his blood and flesh using the daggersent by her and sent back her servant . the next day too she sent her servant to fetch some more blood and flesh from Romeo. that day too he foilled the vessel with his blood and flesh and sent back the servant .
third day again Juliet sant her servent with the same reguest.Romeo was about to cut his body once again to prove his love to juliet
but somehow some thought made him to stop. He knows that juliet wanted to test his love towards her and if that is so how can he part with his flesh and blood which belong to her and not him?
so he sent back that servant saying that he has nothing of his as his body ,mind and soul belong to juliet and so he can not give his blood or flesh to feed her dog.
the servant returned empty handed with that message from Romeo. Hearing this juliet danced with joy and ecstacy shouting Romeo loves me and he is a great lover!
Thus Romeo proved his love to Juliet saying that nothing belongs to him as he is in love with juliet body,mind ,and soul!

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart.
Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing. The people stared -- how can he say his heart is more beautiful, they thought?
The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears." "Yes," said the old man, "yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love - I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.
Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges -- giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"
The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands. The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side by side.
