Dear FRNDS..
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them
fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs 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 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.
This story teaches two lessons:
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 those who cross your
path. 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.

NIce one daniel,,
When i saw the heading i felt like a pastor giving his sunday mass preaching...
But the message that you have conveyed out here is absolutely true....You basically utter things in line with what you are thinking or believe in.
whatever u say has such a big impact on the things that would happen to you......I would like to get in to the spiritual part to emphasiize this section... I had read in joyce meyer's book that when we are about to do something challenging, satan put's all negative thoughts in your mind. This if we believe impedes in the successful completion of the work. On hindsinght, the best thing is to trust God and believe in yourelf and go ahead with the challenging role...
if we have positive thoughts that is when we will utten positive things otherwise the opposite will happen.
I feel supporting employees, communicating every decision of yours, taking their consent in decision making, and explaining the reason for a particular decision being taken goes a long way in building trust among employees. It also enables the organization to drive change faster...

dear Daniel,
its very true coz people around youalways try to demotivate you but you should go on and nuthing can stop you if you are positive in your outlook.Like after every sunset , the sun does rise, so are the difficulties and good tidings 2 sides of the same coin.So a person should not stop striving coz they day he feels that he has failed...thats the day he fails to exist.
Looking forward for more motivating articles.
