Lesson from a Donkey

Ceh!At first nak uat tajuk post ni sebagai "bila hati x dikandung badan.." tapi macam tiru tajuk post seseorang la pulak. ngehehee.. Dear reader, about the previous post, I actually cut and paste it from an email that dela had sent to me. I did not copy the whole paragraph but only the ending. But as I concern, ada yang berminat nak tahu dgn lebih mendalam so here it is..

TITLE: Lesson from the Donkey

One day a farmer's donkey fell down 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 is a steppingstone.
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:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less from people but more from God.

have a bless & bliss relationship ahead dear~ have faith in your love, both of u will find your way. ;)

to Anony, udah2 laa tu.. the one u should attack is the 3rd person, not our beloved Amy. if happens that u're the '3rd person', make yourself a proud gesture and walk away from their relationship, you dont want that jerk(as what u discribed in your previous comments) in your life, dont you? lol~* they've known to be together for long, in which reason should you dream to take her place? dont bother them. find another guy, ok~ single one. ;)
