The Two Frogs (Lesson of persistence)
Two frogs fell in a deep bowl.
One was an optimistic soul,
But the other took the gloomy view.
"We shall drown” and he cried without more ado
So with a last despairing cry,
he flung up his legs and said goodbye.
The other frog quoted with a merry grin,
"I can't get out, but I won't give in!"
I'll just swim around till my strength is spent,
then will I die the more content.
Bravely he swam till it would seem,
His struggles began to churn the cream
On top of the butter at last he stopped,
and out of the bowl he gaily hopped.
What is the moral? 'Tis easily found
if you can't hop out, keep swimming around
Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful individuals with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genus is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.—Calvin Coolidge
