　　Jennifer showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.

　　, so they started yelling at the two frogs to

　　. "The pit is too deep. You will die," they said together. When the

　　frogs kept trying, the crowd yelled

　　. After a while, one of the frogs believed what the others were saying, and fell down and

　　.

　　?

　　But

　　, the second frog kept jumping hard

　　the negative remarks of those that kept yelling at her to accept the

　　and just die. Finally, with one big leap, she

　　it out of the pit!?

　　?

　　In fact, the second frog was

　　and unable to hear what the others had been saying. She thought they had been

　　her on the entire time they were yelling! What she had

　　considered as encouragement

　　her to try harder and succeed. And that made all the

　　!?

　　With a positive

　　and being deaf to others' opinions, the second frog reached her goals by using such

　　as encouragement, instead of being

　　by others like the first frog, who failed to develop her

　　to struggle for survival.

　　, when we overcome others' criticism or

　　comments, we can do anything we set our minds to, just as the second frog did.
