Keep Moving Forward

Keep Moving Forward

 

Once upon a time, in a place far away from civilization, lived a Panda bear in his house made out of bamboo. The Panda was named “Tanno”, just after his father. Tanno had a lot of abilities. He could play soccer better than anyone, he was very intelligent and he also played a lot of music instruments. There was something that Tanno couldn’t do, and was his most wanted desire. This desire was the ability to sing as good as his friend “Gumbo”, a little bird who happened to be Tanno’s neighbor.  Gumbo was always singing, and this increased Tanno’s desire. Tanno tried everything he could for 3 entire months, until he realized that he was not able to do it and he gave up. He decided to move to another city in order to stop listening to Gumbo’s beautiful singing. Tanno moved to a city named “Verzichten” and started a new life. He got a Job, a wife and some new friends. The problem was that he was not able to see himself in the mirror because he felt sad about giving up his dream. One day Tanno googled “Songs of Gumbo the Bird”. Tanno went to the first song that Gumbo had ever uploaded. That’s when Tanno realized that Gumbo’s first song was kind of bad, and Gumbo’s singing was terrible. Tanno took the first train to his old city, so he could ask Gumbo what the secret really was. When Tanno arrived, he found out that Gumbo the bird died 2 days before Tanno’s arrived. Tanno was so devastated because he never had the opportunity to say Gumbo how he admire his singing and also he was not able to ask for the secret. The next morning, Tanno visited Gumbo’s grave and he saw that there was a quote in it. The quote was:

“The secret of success is never give up, KEEP MOVING FORWARD”.

This is when Tanno realized that maybe he didn’t tried hard enough. The next day, Tanno practiced his singing with passion. The time passed, and in exactly 4 years, 6 months, 2 weeks and 5 days, Tanno gave a concert to more than 20,000 people. Tanno was the super star of the concert, being the singer of his band named “Voglia”. Tanno played a lot of songs during that concert, but he left the best song for the last. His last song, that he sing it with tears in his eyes, was a song named “KEEP MOVING FORWARD”.
