International Women's Day

International Women's Day (8 March) is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.It was first marked in New York as a National Women’s Day in 1908. But it wasn’t until 1910 it was established as the International Women’s Day.

This year in Oslo there will be a parade starting from Youngstorvet at 6 PM for those of you who wants to join. I will share with you a little short story about how you can manage anything if you don’t give up and don't listen if someone tells you that you can’t and won’t achieve your goals or make your dreams come true.

Happy Women’s Day to all of you Glorious Women out there!!

There once was a bunch of tiny frogs who arranged a climbing competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants. The race began. No one in the crowd really believed the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.
Heard throughout the race were statements such as, “Oh, way too difficult,” “They will never make it to the top,” “Not a chance they will succeed,” and “The tower is too high.”

The tiny frogs began collapsing, one by one—except for those who, in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher. The crowd continued to yell, “It is too difficult! No one will make it!”
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up. But ONE continued to climb higher and higher. This one refused to give up!

At the end of the race, all had given up climbing the tower except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!

All of the other tiny frogs wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it. They asked him how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal.

It turned out that the winning frog was DEAF!!!!

…Never listen to people who have the bad habit of being negative… because they steal the best aspirations of your heart!

Always remind yourself of the power of the words that we hear or read – always think positive!!
