Ducks vs. Stairs - This is a video can show us that we will all be the first ducklings at some things and the last at others. It teaches us that what matters is that even in struggle we keep trying and persevere. Another lesson the ducklings can teach us is that not every duckling went up the stairs in the exact same spot and non of the ducklings kept trying to jump up at the same spot. They tried new spots and finally found a spot that worked for them. In life we can find success with failure if we are willing to try new things.
