The POWER OF WORDS

A group of frogs were travelling through the woods and 2 of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the 2 frogs that they were as good as dead. The 2 frogs ignored the comments and they tried to jump out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. 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 the whole time 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.

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.

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 something of great importance, sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak word 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.

Let the Battle Begin!

Today marks the first day of my 2nd biggest war I'll be battling in my A-Levels. Got 15 points for my trials (A for all 3 subjects Mathematics-93%, Physics-92%, Chemistry-87%). It was a good encouragement.

Note to self: I shall not be perished in this battle! 15 points all the way!

Sat for my first of 8 papers of the Advanced Subsidiary Examination, Pure Mathematics 1. It was surprisingly easy (praise the lord!) but nevertheless I'm bloody, sadly, heartbokenly disappointed that I've stupidly lost 2 marks for not using my brain! Well there goes the Top In The World Award. It was something to aim for and well...not my luck I suppose.

Note to self: Do not jump down building! (only kidding of course...no need to raise an alarm!)

Still have 7 papers left. Aim for nothing less than 100%! (might be fairly impossible...but like they say, "AIM HIGH!")

Road to success

On your road to success you will be faced with obstacles that will make your journey a hard one, full of challenges. Other people being one of your most irritating hindrance. They'll turn on you and out of spite do things to stop you from succeeding. They're envious of your achievements when they themselves have achieved so little. They want the world to progress with their sad slowness and only then when they come out first, not because they were the best but because there was no one better will they leave you alone.

Never let anyone put you down

Never let anyone cloud your judgement.

Never let anyone influence you to the dark side.

NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER GIVE IN!

It won't be a journey, a road to success if everything was laid out on a silver plate for you to take. Success is sweetest when you (and only you) know what you did and all the things you've sacrificed to achieve it.

Do what you know and believe with all you're worth is right, even when you have the world against you.

Do what it takes to reach the top.

Do what it takes to reach the greatest heights.

The sky is NOT the limit...it only is for those who fail to see beyond the great possibilities of (among other things...) space exploration!
