Life’s Lesson

 This is the story of a donkey that fell into a well. He cried and cried but no one saved him. The farmer who owned him felt that it was pointless to save the donkey because it was old and useless. Since the well was dry anyway, he decided to fill it up with sand so that the well would get filled up and the donkey would be buried. He therefore called his neighbors to help him fill up the well. As they started throwing sand in the well, the donkey realized what was happening and cried even more. Just a little later, everyone was surprised that the donkey was no longer crying. The farmer looked inside to see what was happening. He was surprised that each time the sand was thrown in and it fell on the donkey, it would shake off the sand and climb on top of the hill that was being made. Soon, to the astonishment of everyone, the donkey managed to step out of the well.

The conclusion is that life will throw all kinds of garbage and stones on you. You just have to learn to shake them off. Each stone that is thrown at you should be looked on as a stepping stone for progressing - nothing should stop you - not even the deepest of the wells.
