发帖数: 21 | 1 A Donkey Story
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.
The jackass 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 his neighbors to come over and help him. They each 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 and his 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!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, lots of dirt!
The trick to getting along well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each
of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells
just by not stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up. |
