CoachingHe Who travels the Road Best

Country RoadOnce a king had a great highway built for the members of his kingdom. After it was completed, but before it opened to the public, the king decided to have a contest. He invited as many as desired toparticipate. Their challenge was to see who could travel the highway best.

On the day of the contest the people came. Some of them had fine chariots, some had fine clothing, fine hairdos or great food. Some young men came in their track clothes and ran along the highway. People traveled the highway all day, but each one, when he arrived at the end complained to the king that there was a large pile of rocks and debris left on the road in one spot, and this got in their way and hindered their travel.

At the end of the day, a lone traveler crossed the finish line and wearily walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty, but he addressed the king with great respect and handed him a bag of gold. He explained, "I stopped along the way to clear away a pile of rocks and debris
that was blocking the road. This bag of gold was under it all, and I want to return it to its rightful owner." The king replied, "You are the rightful owner."The traveler replied, "Oh no, this is not mine. I've never known such money." "Oh yes," said the king, "You've earned this gold, for you won my contest. He who travels the road best is he who makes the road smoother for those who will follow."

CoachingThe Frog
FrogA group of frogs was traveling through the woods and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit and watched as the imprisoned frogs tried to jump out. The frogs on top could see there was no way out and they started yelling at the frogs to give up. "The pit is too deep. You're as good as dead," the chorus said. When the trapped frogs kept trying, the crowd yelled louder, "Give up. You're as good as dead." After a while one of the exhausted frogs took heed at what the others were saying, and he fell down and died.
But the second frog kept jumping as hard as she could despite the hopelessness of those that kept yelling at her to accept the inevitable and just die. Finally, with one valiant jump she made it out of the pit. You see, this frog was deaf and unable to hear what the others were saying. She thought they were encouraging her the entire time. And that made all the difference.
