Dear Cite HR Members,
Read a story below. One excellent story which explains how to get success from failure or how to get positive from negative surroundings. Read it & get me your views.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 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 happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from God.
Good Day & Happy Working !!

Simple yet shows the best of positive attitude and "Take it in your stride" kinda attitude.
We often blame people, circumstances and our limitations for not being able to cope with negative people and thier attitude.
Well, its worth learning and implementing to gain from adversity.
I will surely try the five steps for happiness.
Keep posting.:)

another moral here is that though so many ways are there filling sand was opted which has resulted in closing the well. This may have resulted in not getting water for some purpose. So this method was foolish to bring out the donkey. Another moral is that dont close one facility of all for benefit of one
