Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hi Sourav, Thanks for sharing the story on the cracked water pot. Here is a story that I like. Latha ================================================================== 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, hat the well needed to be covered anyway and that it just wasn't worth retrieving the donkey. So 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 quietened 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 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 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is the trick that we can do to shake ourselves out of the dirt that have been thrown to us and take a step up? It we consider the dirt as dirt then it becomes dirt. This is what I would do when somebody throw a `dirt' at me. I would hold it, dissect and feel it. Learn more about the dirt and try to find the answers as to why this is call dirt and why it is being thrown at me. What makes dirt a dirt? Can we change this dirt to something productive? The act of dissecting and learning about the dirt itself is the process of learning. The best form of learning is being reflective of our thoughts and action.
