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 fell quiet. 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!
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:
- Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
- Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
- Live simply and appreciate what you have.
NOW ............Enough of that crap. The donkey later came back, and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock
MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON: When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.

wow! ini satu kisah yg hebat. Teringat saya zaman kanak2 dulu sungguh terhibur kalau membaca kisah2 cerita dongeng binatang dan yg paling top dan termasyhur adalah kisah sang kancil. Binatang kecil yg mampu menewaskan binatang2 lain yg jauh lebih besar yg kononnya sang kancil ini seekor binatang yg bijak dan pintar sehingga mampu memperdayakan lain2 binatang untuk survival dirinya.Bila dibandingkan dgn cerita keldai tua tadi, hikayat sang kancil juga ada menceritakan sang kancil terjatuh ke dalam satu lubang yg besar lalu gagal untuk naik ke atas. Dipendekkan cerita, akhirnya sang kancil tadi berjaya melepaskan dirinya dgn menipu sang gajah.Sungguh malang, dari kecil rupanya kita sudah disogokkan perilaku kalau nak hidup kena pandai menipu.

cerita yang agak menarik, tapi perlukan lebih perhatian sebelum publish artikel ni - perlukan perenggan.
ReplyDeletedan juga, kalau ada cerita, idea, tulisan sendiri yang diselitkan bersama artikel yg sedia ada, akan bertambah menarik blog umaruddin ni.
