WINNER? LOSER? SCOFFER?
There were three eggs (turtle's egg, snail's egg and frog's egg) hatching at the same time inside a well. Everyday they all three always playing together there.
One day, Turtle was looking upon the bright top from the bottom of the dark well. He's wondering about the living on the top, seemed interesting, comfortable, bright, etc. Then he asked Frog and Snail to go up.
But the Frog mocked the Turtle's plan to go up. Frog thought that he himself who could jump higher couldn't possibly reach the top. so did the slowly snail as well. so how about the silly slowest turtle?
But the Turtle seemed didn't really care for that. And the next day he started climbing the well which overgrown by mosses.
And at that time, seeing the turtle's struggling to climb, the Frog was mocking him on and on, but the Turtle was just smiling to the frog. Frog's mocking was actually making the turtle spirit up and more even better. so he continued his climbing.
And the snail, the one who's just watching the effort of the turtle then started to follow his friend to climb.
But because of the Frog's mocking as well, then the Snail kept his intention off and stopped climbing.
The Turtle was striving to go to the top. Even in the middle of his journey he stopped to eat the moss up and then continued his journey until finally got over the top.
from the top he said to his friend down there
"come on, just try to climb up guys, you all can make it! trust me"
then the Frog said
" No, never! do you want to take the responsibility if I then get hurt or falling?
and Frog also said to snail
" Don't hear the Turtle snail ! you can't do it, you know! don't be silly !"
and the snail didn't even move a muscle
>>>>>>>>
so what lesson we can get from this story?
In life, there are three types of people:
a winner, a loser, and a scoffer.
A winner always strives to achieve his/her goal and takes every comment or mocking wisely. Then a loser never do anything because he/she are afraid to lose and to be mocked by others. And a scoffer never reach his/her goal unless succeed to scary the loser.
so if u may choose, which side do yo want to be?
like the frog, like the snail or like the turtle?
