Once upon a time there 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....

Honestly:

No one in 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 he had found the strength to succeed and 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 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! Therefore:

ALWAYS be....POSITIVE!

And above all:

Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!

Always think:

God and I can do this

Mid-Autumn Festival

The Chinese celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival or Zhong Qiu Jie on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. Also known as the Mooncake Festival or the Lantern Festival, it usually falls in late September or early October. The moon, a symbol of wholeness, unity and harmony in Chinese traditions, is the brightest and fullest on this day.

There are a few legends associated with this festival. The most popular legend is that of Chang E, the Moon fairy. One version of the legend describes how she saves the people from the tyrannical rule of her husband, Hou Yi. She steals his immortality pill, swallows it and flies to the moon. During this festival, the Chinese remember the courageous Chang E. There are many different versions of this legend, each having a different ending.

Another legend relates how the Han Chinese fight the Mongolian rulers by organising a revolt. They hide secret messages inside mooncakes giving the exact date and time of the attack against the Mongolians. To remember this victorious revolt against the Mongolians, eating mooncakes has become an important part of the celebrations.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, mooncakes and other goodies are offered to deities and ancestors at the family altar. Youngsters present mooncakes to their elders as a mark of respect. On this night, many houses are illuminated with lanterns. Family members gather to view the full moon and eat mooncakes while children carry colourful lighted lanterns. This is also an auspicious day for Chinese weddings.

Legend of Wu Kang
In Chinese mythology, Wu Kang was portrayed as a woodcutter fascinated with the magic of immortality. He went to live in the mountains where he importuned an immortal to teach him. However, as a shiftless person, he was not able to hold on to any apprenticeship for a long period of time. After requesting the immortal to teach him something new every few days, the master was angered by Wu Kang’s impatience and banished him to the Moon Palace, where he has to cut down a huge cassia tree before he could return to earth. Though Wu Kang chopped day and night, the magical tree restored itself with each blow, and thus he continues to eternally chop the cassia on the moon.

Legend of Jade Rabbit
According to legend, three sages transformed themselves into pitiful old men and begged for something to eat from a fox, a monkey, and a rabbit. Both the fox and the monkey were able to give the old men some food, but the rabbit, empty-handed, offered his own flesh instead and jumped into a blazing fire to cook himself. The fairies were so touched by the rabbit’s sacrifice that they let him live in the moon, where he became the “Jade Rabbit”.
