Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 A Donkey's Tale The Donkey Story 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 and was astonished at what he saw. With every 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 trotted off! 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 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! Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 1. Free your heart from hatred. 2. Free your mind from worries. 3. Live simply. 4. Give more. 5. Expect less. P.S.: The donkey later came back and kicked the garbageout of the farmer that tried burying him. ======================================================== El campesino y el burro Un día, el burro de un campesino se cayó en un pozo. El animal lloró lastimosamente por horas, mientras el campesino trataba de buscar algo que hacer. Finalmente, el campesino decidió que el burro ya estaba viejo, el pozo ya estaba seco y necesitaba ser tapado de todas formas; que realmente no valía la pena sacar al burro del pozo. Invitó a todos sus vecinos para que vinieran a ayudarle. Cada uno agarró una pala y empezaron a tirar tierra al pozo. El burro se dió cuenta de lo que estaba pasando y lloró horriblemente. Luego, para sorpresa de todos, se aquieto después de unas cuantas paladas de tierra. El campesino finalmente miró al fondo del pozo y se sorprendió de lo que vio... Con cada palada de tierra, el burro estaba haciendo algo increíble: se sacudía la tierra y daba un paso encima de la tierra. Muy pronto todo el mundo vió sorprendido como el burro llegó hasta la boca del pozo, pasó por encima del borde y salió trotando... La vida te va a tirar tierra, todo tipo de tierra... el truco para salir del pozo es sacudírsela y usarla para dar un paso hacia arriba. Cada uno de nuestros problemas es un escalón hacia arriba. Podemos salir de los más profundos huecos si no nos damos por vencidos... Usa la tierra que te echan para salir adelante. Recuerda las 5 reglas para ser feliz: 1- Libera tu corazón del odio. 2- Libera tu mente de las preocupaciones. 3- Simplifica tu vida. 4- Da más y espera menos. 5- Ama más y... sacúdete la tierra porque en esta vida hay que ser solución, no problema"...always look at the positive side of things...
