Got this from one of my commanders.
Little different twist from "the Mule" , Duane.

Subject: FROGS IN A PIT
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into
a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how
deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The
two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all
of their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as
good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs
were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued
to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of
frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and
finally made it out.
When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog
explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the
entire time.
The moral:
1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to
someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.
2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to
kill them. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to them.
The power of words ---- it is sometimes hard to understand that an
encouraging word can go such a long way.
- Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to
continue in difficult times.
- Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.
- Be Special to others.
- Tell me and I'll forget
- Show me and I'll remember
- Involve me and I'll learn
"How blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains
understanding. For its profit is better than the profit of
silver, and its gain than fine gold." Proverbs 3:13, 14
