A little bird was born in a barn with a swarm of ducklings. The fur is dark and uneven. It is always bully by its' barn mate because it looked different and ugly.Until one day it grows up and turned into a beautiful swan, wading solemnly in the pond with the swan family. The ducklings which they grown up together, felt shocked and ashamed, because the ugly duckling had turned into a graceful swan.
Now,
Lets probe into further detail, how does the ugly duckling feels when it was bullied? What if the ugly duckling turned into an ugly clumsy duck rather than a swan? How long does it takes for the ugly duckling to evolve into a swan?
Being bullied, the ugly duckling will definitely feel uneasy and unhappy. When the situation persist, the ugly duckling begins to lose its confident, it will walk with head down and scare to look at others. As it never knows it will turn into a swan one day.When the day come and it evolve into a swan, it still waddle like a duck.. Other ducklings will now laugh harder at the 'queer duck' or may think it is "a duck in swan outfit". What if the day never arrive, is the ugly duckling going to bow its head for the rest of its life?
In the next scenario, the ugly duckling who is belittled by it's mates, instead of losing confident, it is now trying to prove to the mates that it is a swan. How? The ugly duckling begin to walk and waddle like a swan, although it is a duck. What happened? The mates may still smirk at it, but all the passerby will thought it is a swan wading in the pond. Finally? Everyone assume it as a swan although it may be born as a duck.
Born-loser in the first scenario, but Born-winner in the latter.
Dear ugly duckling, ya I am referring to you, people may think we are slow learner, weak, incompetent, incapable and looked dumb and stupid, but why cares about their perception? Those who think/say that will not donate to make you success.
"Just as i said" they thought when you become a swan that still looks like a duck.
Now its all up to you, whether you want to be swan.
You may not end up becoming a swan, but should be close to that.
There will be a higher chances when you choose to believe.
That's what I learned from Hans Andersen in his famous fairy tale today.
