If You Want to Become Great, Stop Listening to Negative People
Introduction
Sometimes, success is not about strength, intelligence, or resources—it’s about focus and the ability to shut out negativity. This story is a simple yet powerful reminder that in order to achieve something big in life, we must learn to ignore the noise around us. Let's dive into this inspiring tale.
The Story
Once upon a time, a group of friends were playing together in a large open field. While playing, they got into an argument—each one claiming, "I am the best among all!"
Just then, an elderly man happened to walk by. He noticed the children arguing and said,
“Let’s settle this. Whoever climbs to the top of that pole in the middle of the field first will be the best among you.”
The children got excited and ran toward the pole. It was a curious sight, and soon, people from the nearby village gathered around the field to watch what was going on.
One by one, the children started trying to climb the pole. But none of them could make it to the top. Why? Because the pole was extremely slippery and smooth—almost impossible to climb.
From all sides, the crowd began shouting,
“It’s impossible! The pole is too smooth!”
“No one can climb it! It’s a waste of time!”
Hearing this, some children gave up immediately. Others kept trying for a while, climbing a little and then slipping down again. But eventually, even the determined ones lost hope and gave up.
However, one small boy did not stop. He kept jumping, grabbing, slipping—and trying again. He kept failing but didn’t give up.
Finally, after many tries, he managed to climb all the way to the top!
The crowd was amazed. The other kids gathered around him and asked,
“How did you do it? This was impossible!”
The boy didn’t reply. He stood silently, smiling.
Just then, the old man said,
“Why are you asking him? He can’t hear you. He’s deaf!”
Moral of the Story
Friends, the biggest lesson from this story is:
Sometimes, the only way to succeed is to be “deaf” to negative voices.
That child succeeded not because he was the strongest—but because he couldn’t hear the people who said it couldn’t be done. He kept going because no one told him to stop.
We all have the potential to reach our goals, but we often listen too much to the people around us—those who say:
“It’s too hard,”
“It’s not possible,”
“You can’t do it.”
And we start believing them.
But if you truly believe in yourself, then you must be like that child—deaf to doubt, blind to negativity, and focused only on your goal.
So the next time someone tells you, “You can’t do it”—just smile and keep climbing your pole.
Be successful. If you want to be great, stop listening to negative people.
Final Thought
"You can’t say you don’t have enough time.
Even the most successful people in the world get the same 24 hours each day."
Use your time wisely. Believe in yourself. And always keep going—no matter what the world says.
