I belief that most of us must have read many 'Life's Moral' articles from many sources. I've got one which must be shared, though some might have read it before, but it's no harm reading it one more time as this type of articles brings much teachings to our life thus enable us to enhance & improve our daily undertakings.
The Donkey
One day a farmer's donkey fell into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
Moral:
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles are stepping stones. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
- Free your heart from hatred - Forgive
- Free your mind from worries (which most never happens)
- Live simply and appreciate what you have
- Give more
- Expect less from people but more from God
So, for those who cannot get along or work in a team, hope this picture will knock some sense into your mind and heart!!!
