He was born a frog, but he never quite felt like one.
While the others accepted
the pond as their destiny,
he kept looking up at the sky.
He would have rather flown.
One day, he climbed to the top of the mountain,
where he could watch others fly.
It was beautiful.
But the question kept coming back:
why dream of flying when he had been born a frog?
Could he really leave the pond behind?
One night, when no one was watching,
he decided to jump from the mountaintop.
But he fell.
That was when he realized there were only two choices:
KEEP TRYING OR ADAPT
Some time later, he met Poncho, a flying turtle.
He couldn't help asking:
“If you're a turtle, how did you learn to fly when you belong in the sea?”
Poncho replied:
“I could have stayed in the sea, because that's what was expected of me.
But one day I asked myself:
Would I rather live by someone else's rules, or go after my own happiness?
So I jumped. And eventually, I flew.”
Because, more often than not, we're the ones setting the limits.
Fernando returned to the pond, asked himself the same question, and chose to adapt. It was safer.
And that's where a lot of stories end: in the pond.
Ours doesn't.
We choose to keep trying.
We're a restless bunch, always exploring how far we can go.
And the website we're building behind this landing page is the result: a record of what we've created alongside those who
choose to keep trying, too.
What about you?
Do you adapt, or do you keep trying?
What about you? Do you adapt, or do you keep trying?
