Lesson from 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 neighbours 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 neighbours 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 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 - Forgive.
 2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.

 3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
 4. Give more.
 5. Expect less

 NOW ,, Be a good Donkey
