One must navigate through the rapids to reach a higher level of success in life. The most important tool is to always value oneself.
One day, a farmer’s donkey accidentally fell into a dry well. The farmer racked his brains trying to think of a way to rescue the donkey, but after several hours, the donkey was still crying pitifully at the bottom of the well.
Finally, the farmer decided to give up. He thought that since the donkey was old, it was not worth all of this effort to save it. However, the well still needed to be filled up so that nothing else would fall in it. So, he asked his neighbors to help him bury the donkey in the well to relieve its suffering.
The neighbors each took a shovel and began to fill the well with soil. When the donkey realized its situation, it cried very sadly at first. But surprisingly, after a while, it quieted down. The farmer curiously leaned over the well to take a look, and what he saw astonished him:
When the soil was thrown onto the donkey’s back, its reaction was astonishing – it shook the soil off to the side and then stood on top of the fresh pile of soil!
In this way, the donkey was able to rise to the top of a freshly filled well, before running away to the astonishment of the onlookers!
Warm reminder:
Just like the donkey’s situation, in the journey of life, sometimes we may fall into a metaphorical dry well and be covered with all kinds of dirt. The secret to getting out of such a well is: shake off the dirt and stand on top of it!
你也在井裡嗎？
——人生必須渡過逆流才能走向更高的層次，最重要的是永遠看得起自己。
有一天某個農夫的一頭驢子，不小心掉進一口枯井裡，農夫絞盡腦汁想辦法救出驢子，但幾個小時過去了，驢子還在井裡痛苦地哀嚎著。
最後，這位農夫決定放棄，他想這頭驢子年紀大了，不值得大費周章去把它救出來，不過無論如何，這口井還是得填起來。於是農夫便請來左鄰右舍幫忙一起將井中的驢子埋了，以免除它的痛苦。
農夫的鄰居們人手一把鏟子，開始將泥土鏟進枯井中。當這頭驢子了解到自己的處境時，剛開始哭得很悽慘。但出人意料的是，一會兒之後這頭驢子就安靜下來了。農夫好奇地探頭往井底一看，出現在眼前的景象令他大吃一驚：
當鏟進井裡的泥土落在驢子的背部時，驢子的反應令人稱奇——它將泥土抖落在一旁，然後站到鏟進的泥土堆上面!
就這樣，驢子將大家鏟倒在它身上的泥土全數抖落在井底，然後再站上去。很快地，這隻驢子便得意地上升到井口，然後在眾人驚訝的表情中快步地跑開了!
溫馨提示：
就如驢子的情況，在生命的旅程中，有時候我們難免會陷入枯井裡，會被各式各樣的泥沙傾倒在我們身上，而想要從這些枯井脫困的秘訣就是：將泥沙抖落掉，然後站到上面去!
