Life Lessons from a Donkey

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried
pitifully 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
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 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 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
upward!

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

By the way, the donkey kicked THE XXXX out of the man that tried to bury him.

Moral: When you try to cover your ___, it always comes back to get you

Never doubt that a small group of concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. -Mahatma Ghandi

Be the change you wish to see in the world. -Mahatma Ghandi

Let us read and let us dance: two amusements that will never do any harm to the world. -Voltaire

Merciful Father.... I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only, to live the next few minutes well. For all we ought to have thought and have not thought... All we ought to have said and have not said. All we ought to have done and have not done. I pray thee, God for forgiveness. -Antonio Banderas, The 13th Warrior

...We hold these truths to be self-evident:

That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. ... - The Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, July 4, 1776

I live in my own little world, but it's okay, they know me here! - unknown
