1. Why God Made Teachers
When God created teachers,
He gave us special friends
To help us understand His world
And truly comprehend
The beauty and the wonder
Of everything we see,
And become a better person
With each discovery
When God created teachers,
He gave us special guides
To show us ways in which to grow
So we can all decide
How to live and how to do
What's right instead of wrong,
To lead us so that we can lead
And learn how to be strong
Why God created teachers,
In His wisdom and His grace,
Was to help us learn to make our world
A better, wiser place.

3. Once upon a time there
was a bunch of baby
frogs........

4. … participating in a
competition.
The target was to get to
the top of a high tower.

5. A crowd of people had gathered to observe
the race and encourage the participants.....

6. The start shot rang out.......

7. Quite honestly:
None of the onlookers believed that the baby frogs
could actually accomplish getting to the top of the
tower.
Words like:
"Åh, it’s too difficult!!!
They’ll never reach the top."
or:
"Not a chance... the tower is too high!"

8. One by one some of the baby frogs fell off…
...Except those who fastly climbed higher and
higher..
The crowd kept on yelling:
"It’s too difficult. Nobody is going to make it!"

9. More baby frogs became tired and gave up...
...But one kept going higher and higher.....
He was not about giving up!
At the end everybody had given up, except the one
determined to reach the top!

10. All the other participants naturally wanted to
know how he had managed to do what none
of them others had been able to do!
One competitor asked the winner, what was his
secret?

11. The truth was.......
The winner was deaf!!!!

12. The lesson to be learned:
Don’t ever listen to people who are negative and
pessimistic...
…they will deprive you of your loveliest dreams and
wishes you carry in your hear!
Always be aware of the power of words, as everyting
you hear and read will interfere with your actions!

13. Therefore:
Always stay…
POSITIVE!
And most of all:
Turn a deaf ear when people tell you, that you
cannot achieve your dreams!
