Frog Tales
This one was mailed to me by one of my old-time friends and I found it quite interesting.The story goes like this. A group of frogs was strolling in a park one day when two of them fell in a ditch. Both the frogs started jumping to come out of it. Other fortunate frogs gathered around the ditch to get a feel of the width and depth of the ditch and concluded that it would be simply impossible to get out of it. The verdict was immediately told to the two troubled frogs. One of them understood the message and gave up all the efforts and waited to meet its destiny. The other frog in the ditch seemed indifferent to the judgement of the masses and kept on trying. The frogs around the ditch now started clamouring more vigourously about how difficult it was to come out of that mess. Surprisingly, this persistent frog went on jumping even higher and finally popped out of the ditch.
During the after-math of the situation, it was clear that the frog who succeeded was almost deaf and thought for all the time that its colleagues were cheering it and encouraging it to get out!
Moral of the story? Well, moral is that the words we use are immensely powerful; powerful enough to make or break someone's life. So we need to be careful when we speak to people around us. One word can make hell lot of difference to someone's existence!

A simple story with great moral, Ranjit. Expecting more such from you buddy. Welcome to the world of blogging.
Boy, this was a cool story. It makes sense for both the parties included. The person who is saying should first literally weight the the comments of the words to be spoken in his mind and then pop it out, they really can make a difference to a speakers attitude. And for the person who is at the receiver's end has to understand from what u have just pooped. So less but clearer words should be spoken when u r turned on.
